Summary "The Ridin' Kid from Powder River" by Henry Herbert Knibbs is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story likely explores themes of adventure and coming-of-age against a Western backdrop, primarily following the life of a young boy named Pete, who is navigating his harsh existence in the frontier. As he moves through varied experiences, his relationships with figures like the old homesteader Annersley and a merciless horse-trader become pivotal in shaping his destiny. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Young Pete as he accompanies a rough horse-trader, enduring a lifestyle filled with hardships and abuse. However, an unexpected turn occurs when he meets old man Annersley, who offers him a chance at a better life and companionship. The narrative showcases Pete's transition from a neglected child to a boy who embraces the potential for adventure and self-improvement while grappling with the remnants of his troubled past. As Pete begins to settle into his new life, the interactions with Annersley reveal a deeper narrative about family bonds, loyalty, and the pursuit of justice in a lawless land, setting the stage for future conflicts and character development.
