He becomes known as the Ramblin' Kid, a nickname he earns for his wanderlust and his ability to move from place to place without ever settling down. As Jim grows older, he becomes embroiled in a number of adventures and conflicts. He falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Betty, but their relationship is threatened by a rival suitor who will stop at nothing to win her heart. Jim also finds himself caught up in a feud between two powerful ranching families, which threatens to tear apart the entire community. Throughout it all, Jim remains true to his roots as a cowboy and a wanderer. He faces danger and adversity with courage and determination, and he never loses his sense of humor or his love of life. The Ramblin' Kid is a classic tale of the American West, filled with action, romance, and unforgettable characters. It is a must-read for anyone who loves adventure stories and tales of the frontier.The Ramblin' Kid, while going from barn to corral, glanced across the valley and saw Carolyn June and Skinny as they rode along the ridge. It was two miles from the ranch to the bluff on which they were riding, but so clear was the rain-washed air that the horses and riders were easily recognized. He watched them until they reached the corner of the upland pasture. There the roads from the lower and upper fords came together. The couple turned north along the fence and disappeared beyond the ridge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
