Summary "Wild Roses: A Tale of the Rockies" by Howard R. Driggs is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the scenic expanse of the Rocky Mountains, it explores the lives of cowboys and ranchers as they celebrate traditions and navigate interpersonal dynamics in a rustic environment. The story follows characters such as Jim Hardy and Fred Benton, centering on their relationships, competitions, and the excitement of cowboy life. The opening of the novel introduces us to a vibrant cowboy celebration on the Fourth of July, highlighting a lively atmosphere filled with horse races and playful banter among ranch workers at Bar B ranch. The characters are portrayed in a humorous light, engaging in classic cowboy shenanigans, including drinking and betting on horse races. As the day unfolds, the arrival of two ranch girls, Alta Morgan and Sally Johnson, serves as a catalyst for new dynamics and potential romantic interests, notably capturing Fred's admiration. The lively spirit of the gathering contrasts with the undercurrents of rivalry and jealousy, particularly illustrated through the character of Bud Nixon, who becomes embroiled in conflicts that hint at future challenges within the story.
