Summary "The Morgan Trail: A Story of Hashknife Hartley" by W. C. Tuttle is a novel written in the late 1920s." The story revolves around Rex Morgan, a young man who grapples with the sudden death of his mother, which leaves him alone and financially uncertain. As he embarks on a journey of self-discovery, he encounters the lawless complexities of life in the West, leading to confrontations involving the fierce cattleman Peter Morgan and a few troublesome nesters. "At the start of the novel, Rex returns home after his mother’s funeral only to realize he has no money and no knowledge of the world, having been sheltered throughout his upbringing." In his emotional turmoil, he is approached by a neighbor, Amos Weed, who offers him a job driving a delivery wagon for his grocery store. This initial foray into employment takes a disastrous turn when Rex's inexperience leads to a chaotic accident involving the delivery wagon that results in a series of comedic and troublesome encounters. As he sets off for Mesa City to investigate his mother’s past and the origins of a mysterious check, Rex begins to uncover the harsh realities of the world he is entering and the tangled family ties he must navigate.
