Summary "Ma Pettengill" by Harry Leon Wilson is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. It revolves around the life on a ranch and focuses on the character of Ma Pettengill, a strong-willed woman with a penchant for knitting and a sharp wit. The narrative explores the dynamics of ranch life, the interactions between its inhabitants, and Ma's amusing perspectives on various topics, including food and social norms. The opening of "Ma Pettengill" introduces the life on the Arrowhead ranch, a place bustling with unexpected activities on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Ma Pettengill, the ranch's matriarch, is seen knitting on the porch while directing the men on the ranch in their newly adopted knitting hobby, initiated as a war effort. Through witty conversations among the cowboys and Ma's clever commentary, readers catch a glimpse of her complex personality—a blend of kindness and a commanding nature. The narrative sets the tone for Ma’s character as both a nurturing figure and a source of sharp humor, hinting at the engaging and comedic scenarios that will unfold throughout the story.
