Ted Strong in Montana Or, With Lariat and Spur E-text prepared by Steven desJardins, Mary Meehan, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Ted Strong in Montana" by Edward C. Taylor is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the adventures of Ted Strong, a young rancher and leader of a group called the broncho boys, as he navigates life on the Montana plains while managing cattle and confronting challenges posed by both nature and outlaws. Key themes include perseverance against harsh winter conditions, camaraderie among ranch hands, and the looming threat of danger from adversarial figures such as the Whipple gang. The opening of the novel introduces Ted Strong and his friend Bud Morgan as they prepare to camp in approaching snow while driving a herd of Texas cattle to their winter ground at Long Tom Ranch. As a storm brews, Ted shows leadership in trying to keep the cattle moving and seeking shelter before the worst hits. The arrival of Stella Fosdick, a young woman traveling with them, displays the dynamics of gender roles at play, as she expresses her determination to assist. The narrative sets a tone of adventure and tension, foreshadowing the challenges they will face not only from the elements but also from the outlaws and potentially hostile Native Americans in the area.
