| Summary | "Out of the Blue" by Bertrand W. Sinclair is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story opens with Rock Holloway, a young ranger, embarking on a journey through the rugged landscapes of the American West during a time when cattle ranching was a predominant industry. As he rides, he is drawn into various challenges that revolve around ranch life, rivalries, and the quest for opportunity, all while under the shadow of a mysterious task set by his uncle, Bill Sayre. At the start of the novel, Rock Holloway rides into Fort Worth, Texas, preparing for a cattle drive to Montana. A chance encounter with Uncle Bill reveals that he has been tasked with observing the operations of the Maltese Cross ranch, where concerns about possible mismanagement and a fellow executor named Buck Walters loom large. As Rock departs, he contemplates the dangers he may face, not only from the wild and untamed landscape but also from human conflicts, especially after a foreshadowing encounter involving Elmer Duffy, whose younger brother he had previously killed in a fight. The narrative establishes a rich backdrop of the Old West, filled with cattlemen, rivalries, and the uncertainty of life on the frontier. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
