| Summary |
"The Untamed: Range Life in the Southwest" by George Pattullo is a collection of narratives centered around life and experiences in the American Southwest, written in the early 20th century. The book invites readers into the world of cowboys, reflecting on their adventures and the unique connection they share with the land and its creatures. This set of stories introduces various characters, including animals like Sam the mule and Corazón the wild horse, giving life to the grueling yet vibrant atmosphere of ranching. The opening of the work sets a vivid scene at a ranch, focusing on the mule named Sam, who is both troublesome and beloved by the cook, Dave. Capturing Sam's antics, the narrative illustrates his feisty personality and the challenges he brings to the daily life of cowhands. As he experiences the allure of freedom and the wild, tensions build around his desire for escapism. The stage is quickly set for themes that explore the relationship between humans and animals, the allure of the untamed wilderness, and the unique circumstances of ranch life, making for an engaging start to the stories that follow.
