"Trail's End" by George W. Ogden is a story about a hopeful man named Calvin Morgan who journeys to the desolate Kansas prairie in the early 20th century to seek a better life. He believes in the land's agricultural potential, even though it’s known for its grim history and the many failed settlers who came before him. Along the way, a "bone man" tells Morgan stories of those who sought fortune but only left bones behind. Morgan heads to Ascalon, a town known for its lawlessness, and realizes the place is rough, as he meets the new city marshal, Seth Craddock, and the novel tells the story of Morgan's hard journey as he attempts to make a difference in the town and the challenges he faces in a place filled with broken dreams.
