N2  - "The Boy from the Ranch; Or, Roy Bradner's City Experiences" by Frank V. Webster is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows young Roy Bradner, the son of a ranch owner in Colorado, as he embarks on an unexpected journey to New York City. While the book primarily focuses on Roy's transition from a rural ranch life to navigating the complexities of city life, it also touches on themes of responsibility and adventure.  At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Roy working on his father's ranch, where he showcases his skills as a capable cowboy. Sudden news regarding his father's ill health prompts Roy to leave the cattle round-up early and ride back to the ranch. Upon arrival, he learns that his father wishes to involve him in settling a business matter regarding a property in New York, which had belonged to Roy's deceased uncle. This task of investigating potential fraud by their real estate agent sets Roy on a train journey filled with new experiences, challenges, and unexpected encounters, particularly with swindlers and a new friend, Mortimer De Royster.
