"The Heart of the Range" by William Patterson White is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the American West, the story follows Racey Dawson, a man who finds himself in a series of misadventures involving mistaken identity, horse theft, and a cast of colorful characters. As Racey navigates his way through the complexities of frontier life, he becomes embroiled in a mystery that challenges his wits and bravery. The opening of "The Heart of the Range" introduces us to Racey Dawson on a warm summer morning in the town of Farewell, where he wakes up with a severe hangover after riding off on a horse that doesn't belong to him. Confused and disoriented, he discovers the horse's ownership links to a woman named Molly Dale, whose persona is embellished in the town's gossip. As he seeks to rectify his mistake, Racey encounters various townsfolk, including Piney, the humorous blacksmith, and Kansas Casey, the deputy sheriff, who playfully tease him about his drunken escapades. The light-hearted banter and Racey's determined yet naive attempts to make amends set the tone for the unfolding narrative steeped in humor, regional charm, and the struggles of life on the range.
