Summary: "Bob Burton; or, The Young Ranchman of the Missouri" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Bob Burton, a young ranchman navigating life on his family's ranch in Missouri. The opening chapters set the stage for a conflict involving Bob's father, Richard Burton, and Aaron Wolverton, the local moneylender, who harbors a hidden grudge against the family. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the Burton family as they prepare for Richard's trip to pay interest on a mortgage held by Wolverton. Tensions are hinted at in interactions between Richard and his wife, Mary, who expresses mistrust of Wolverton, recalling his past advances towards her. After Richard's tragic accident on the way home, where Wolverton is seen rifling through his pockets, a plot emerges involving accusations, deceit, and the desperate quest for justice. Bob, alongside his companion Clip, a young African American refugee, begins to confront the challenges threatening their livelihood while discovering the depths of Wolverton's malevolence.
