The Boy from the Ranch; Or, Roy Bradner's City Experiences

Roy Bradner has spent his whole life under the wide Colorado sky, learning the ropes of a working ranch before he was old enough to shave. He’s as steady with a lariat as he is with a rifle, and his quick wit makes him a natural leader even among the seasoned cowhands. When the foreman sends him out to spur a lagging herd, Roy’s confidence and skill keep the cattle moving, proving that the boy from the ranch can handle any challenge the open range throws at him.

A sudden message pulls Roy away from the prairie and into the bustling streets of a nearby city, where the rhythm is far from the steady trot of a herd. There, his straightforward honesty meets a world of slick merchants and fast‑talking swindlers, testing the same courage that served him on the trail. Listeners will follow his first uneasy steps into urban life, watching a true Western spirit try to navigate a place where the rules are written in ink rather than dust.
