Cattle by Onoto Watanna
"Cattle" by Winnifred Eaton (Onoto Watanna) is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds across four Alberta ranches, focusing particularly on the struggle for power and survival within the harsh realities of ranching life. The main character, Nettie Day, faces adversity as she takes on the responsibilities of her family's ranch amidst an oppressive atmosphere dictated by powerful male figures, particularly the tyrannical Bull Langdon. At the startof the novel, we are introduced to the landscapes of Alberta and the principal characters, including the ruthless Bull Langdon, who aggressively expands his cattle empire, often at the expense of others. Nettie, tasked with caring for her younger siblings following her father's demise, finds herself navigating the challenges of ranch life while contending with Langdon's oppressive nature. The opening sections set a vivid scene of the struggles that both cattle and people endure in this challenging environment. As the narrative progresses, the complexities of love, power dynamics, and the harshness of the land become central themes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
