'Firebrand' Trevison

"Firebrand" Trevison by Charles Alden Seltzer is a tale set in the rapidly changing American West, where the cowboy way of life clashes with the progress brought by railroads and new settlements; here, "Brand" Trevison, a tough and capable cowboy, finds himself at odds with the scheming businessman Corrigan, sparking a conflict driven by power struggles and personal pride; as Trevison rides into the emerging town of Manti, his skill on horseback is matched only by his disdain for the changes sweeping the land, leading to a heated confrontation with Corrigan that ignites a battle of wills; amidst this struggle, Rosalind Benham is torn between her admiration for the strong-willed cowboy and her family's stake in the changing West, hinting at romance amidst the turmoil.
