"Wild Roses: A Tale of the Rockies" by Howard R. Driggs is a story from the early 1900s that paints a picture of life amidst the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, where cowboys and ranchers hold onto their heritage as they deal with each other's personalities. We meet characters like Jim Hardy and Fred Benton, following their friendships and rivalries against the backdrop of thrilling cowboy adventures. The story kicks off with a lively Fourth of July celebration, filled with horse races and friendly teasing among the Bar B ranch cowboys. These characters are brought to life with humor as they participate in typical cowboy antics, like drinking and betting at the races.
