Summary

"Trailin'!" by Max Brand is an adventure story that explores identity and purpose in post-World War I America. The tale starts with Anthony Woodbury, a young man from New York City, feeling restless and unfulfilled despite his fortunate life. When a bold stranger challenges cowboys to ride a wild horse at a Wild West show in Madison Square Garden, Anthony sees a chance to break free from his expected path. This sets him on a path to discover himself by diving into the rugged and untamed spirit of the West, presenting a stark contrast to the sheltered world he knows. He wants more than what he has.
