Produced from the October 20, 1928 issue of Argosy All-Story Weekly magazine. Roger Frank and Sue Clark "Where the West Begins" by Austin Hall is a novel written in the late 1920s. The story revolves around themes of ownership, ambition, and the classic Western spirit, capturing the struggles and endeavors of individuals living in the American West. The narrative addresses the socio-economic tensions between homesteaders and cattle barons, encapsulating a moment in time when the frontier was still significantly shaped by such conflicts. The plot follows Billy Magee, a cowboy with a yearning for independence, who stakes a claim on a homestead that is coveted by the wealthy cattle king, Holman. Despite Holman's attempts to intimidate him into relinquishing his claim, Billy refuses to back down, embodying the tenacity of the frontier spirit. As the story unfolds, Billy discovers a new element in his life when he meets Jennie Ross, a spirited young woman who has also claimed a homestead nearby. The connection they forge serves as both a personal awakening for Billy and a pivot point in his struggle against Holman's oppressive grasp. Ultimately, their journey reflects a larger narrative of resilience, determination, and the pursuit of one's dreams in an ever-changing landscape.
