Summary "Cowboy Dave; Or, The Round-up at Rolling River" by Frank V. Webster is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the young cowboy Dave Carson, who grapples with identity and family secrets while navigating the challenges of ranch life. As a skilled horseman and dedicated worker on the Bar U ranch, Dave becomes embroiled in conflicts with neighboring ranchmen, particularly the bully Len Molick, and confronts the reality of his mysterious origins. At the start of the novel, the narrative introduces the bustling atmosphere of the Bar U ranch as cowboys return from a cattle round-up, eager for food and rest. The setting is rich with the sounds and sights of ranch life, characterized by camaraderie among the cowboys. The main character, Cowboy Dave, stands out as a young, talented rider who yearns for his father's approval while facing harsh taunts regarding his identity. Tension mounts as he encounters Len Molick, who cruelly questions his relation to ranch owner Randolph Carson, leading to a confrontation that forces Dave to confront not only his enemies but also the truth about his past. The opening effectively sets the stage for themes of loyalty, community, and the quest for belonging. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
