| Summary |
"Easy Money" by Bertrand W. Sinclair is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story is set in the American West and revolves around the themes of cattle ranching, resilience, and the consequences of wrongdoing. It primarily focuses on the life of Charlie Shaw, a somewhat carefree cow-puncher who finds himself entangled in a serious situation involving cattle theft. The plot follows Charlie Shaw as he confronts adversity after being dismissed from his job at the Seventy-seven ranch due to a confrontation with his foreman, Elmer Duffy. With the backdrop of increasing cattle theft on the range, Charlie decides to take matters into his own hands and investigate the suspicious activities surrounding the local grading camps. His journey leads him to uncover a scheme involving stolen beef, where he ultimately finds himself in perilous situations. The story culminates with Charlie successfully apprehending the thieves, challenging his previous reputation as a mere "jokester," and restoring his sense of purpose and self-worth amidst the harsh realities of ranch life.
