Under wide Western skies, a stubborn rancher stands between ruthless men and the land they want to steal.
In Charles Alden Seltzer’s 'Firebrand' Trevison, the open cattle country is worth fighting for. Dry trails lead past lonely ranch houses and small towns where news travels fast. At the center stands Trevison, a rancher whose fiery nickname fits his refusal to be pushed around.
His opponents are rich, patient and ruthless. They want the land and its wealth, and corruption serves their greed. Against quiet bargains made behind closed doors, Trevison stands for courage, loyalty and the right to keep what he has earned. The conflict gives this Western its clear stakes: who gets to hold the land, and on whose terms?

From the 15-minute summary · Key idea 1
A rider and a railroad town
Brand Trevison, known across the plains as Firebrand, owns five thousand acres of the Diamond K range. Manti, a town only a month old, sits about three miles from where Trevison rides because a railroad has cut across the plains. Trevison sees that the cattle days are ending, and he now understands the value of his land.
The book sends him down the steep wall of the railroad cut on his black horse while fifty laborers stop to watch. Patrick Carson, the cheerful Irish construction boss, cheers him on. When the loose earth slides under the horse, Trevison turns the animal and keeps going, calm, with a mocking smile.
