** "Harper's Round Table, December 29, 1896" by Various gathers stories that paint a picture of life in the late 1800s. One such narrative, "How Ute Jack Was Taken" by Owen Wister, unfolds at Fort Brown, a military base, and shows us the world through the eyes of Augustus Albumblatt, a fresh-faced officer. He is eager to make a name for himself, but his book smarts don't always line up with the rough-and-tumble world of the Wild West. The other officers and their wives at the fort find him amusing, but he soon faces a true test when tensions with local Indian tribes reach a boiling point, and he has to step up and deal with a dangerous outlaw known as Ute Jack. The events highlight important ideas about power, the challenges that come with progress, and the hard truths about life in a difficult land at the time. **
