Summary "Homestead Ranch" by Elizabeth G. Young is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Harriet Holliday, a young woman who embarks on a journey westward to visit her brother Rob, who has taken up homesteading on a ranch in Idaho. As she arrives, she encounters the challenges and realities of frontier life, grappling with feelings of homesickness and the newness of her environment. At the start of the novel, Harriet's train crosses the Rocky Mountains, and she observes the vast, desolate landscapes, contrasting sharply with her memories of Connecticut. After arriving in Shoshone, she meets various fellow travelers headed toward their dreams in the west, including a broad-shouldered young man named Garnett. Harriet's brother greets her with a surprising change; he has transformed from a slim, fastidious sibling into a rough, sunbrowned rancher. As the siblings settle into ranch life, Harriet begins to understand the greater difficulties of homesteading and faces an unexpected danger when her brother becomes the victim of an attack by a local sheep herder. This early segment establishes the tone of struggle and adaptation that will characterize Harriet’s experiences on the homestead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
