"The Terms of Surrender" by Louis Tracy is an early 20th-century story set in a Colorado mining town, where John Darien Power, a mining engineer, faces tough times both at work and in his personal life. Upon coming back to Bison, Power gets terrible news that Nancy Willard, the woman he loves, has married someone else named Hugh Marten. As the story starts, Power talks to MacGonigal, a storekeeper, who worries about Power’s safety because of a conflict happening in the area. After finding out about Nancy's marriage, Power is heartbroken and gets into an accident where he breaks his leg! The book then shows how he deals with his pain, both emotionally and physically, and how he tries to take charge of his life again. Tracy uses detailed writing to create a clear image of the wild American West, and the story looks at ideas like betrayal, being strong, and how complicated feelings can be when dealing with love and wanting to succeed.
