Summary "Good Men and True, and Hit the Line Hard" by Eugene Manlove Rhodes is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Jeff Bransford, a charismatic cowhand with a carefree attitude and boyish charm, who finds himself ensnared in a web of intrigue, conspiracy, and danger in the southwestern United States. The narrative hints at themes of friendship, loyalty, and societal expectations framed within the context of frontier life. At the start of the novel, we meet Jeff Bransford as he visits the law office of Simon Hibler, where he engages in jovial banter with Hibler's young clerk, Aughinbaugh. Their conversation is filled with humor and revelations about the life of cowboys, showcasing Bransford's lively personality and expertise with words, whether in jest or wisdom. However, an abrupt shift occurs when a violent confrontation unfolds in the streets of El Paso, leading to Bransford’s unexpected involvement in a deadly clash. This life-altering incident sets the stage for Bransford's entanglement in a conspiracy, forcing him to navigate through power struggles, deception, and ultimately a fight for his survival, all while maintaining his distinctive outlook on life. As he grapples with these challenges, the tension builds, suggesting a gripping tale awaits. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
