| Summary |
"The Saddle Boys at Circle Ranch; Or, In at the Grand Round-Up" by Captain James Carson is a juvenile adventure novel written in the early 20th century. This book is part of a series featuring two boys, Frank Haywood and Bob Archer, who are referred to as the "Saddle Boys." It explores themes of cowboys, cattle ranching, and the challenges posed by rustlers in the southwestern frontier. The opening portion introduces readers to Frank and Bob as they embark on another adventure at Circle Ranch. While bob (a Kentucky transplant) is on a quest to find his missing knife, the story quickly transitions to highlight their direct engagement with the ranch's everyday life—including old acquaintances like Old Baldy, a steer known for his cleverness. As the boys observe a mysterious steer behaving strangely, they soon discover a wolf in hiding. Their excitement escalates as they give chase, showcasing their horsemanship and camaraderie. This gripping start sets the stage for a tale rife with action, the boys’ resourcefulness, and the looming threat of rustlers like Pedro Mendoza, hinting at further adventures awaiting them in the wild west.
