The narrative provides insight into the harsh realities of life as a cowboy, as Moore recounts his family's arduous move to Texas, the challenges of starting a new life after the war, and the motivations behind his eventual desire to join a cattle drive. Key themes introduced in the opening include the relationships among family members, the struggles of living in a war-torn society, and the thrill of adventure along the cattle trails.
