"Frances of the Ranges; Or, The Old Ranchman's Treasure" by Amy Bell Marlowe is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Frances Rugley, a brave and resourceful young girl who lives on a sprawling ranch in the Texas Panhandle. Throughout the narrative, Frances embarks on adventurous escapades, including a dramatic encounter with a mountain lion and the complexities of ranch life, all while navigating her relationship with her
father, a former Texas Ranger. At the start of the novel, Frances rides out on her trusty pinto, Molly, only to hear the terrifying snarl of a mountain lion.

The opening chapters delve into the development of Frances's character as she balances her responsibilities on the ranch with her aspirations and desires for a more cultured life.
