| 520 | _a"The Strike at Too Dry" by Willis Brindley is a novella written in the early 20th century. This light-hearted and comedic tale revolves around the experiences of young Percival Bigelow, who leaves New York City to visit his uncle Dog and his partner Ducky on a Montana ranch called Too Dry. The book explores themes of adaptation and personal transformation as Percival, initially a fragile poet, navigates the rugged western lifestyle. In the story, Dog and Ducky prepare for the arrival of Percival, who is sent to their ranch due to his poor health. Upon his arrival, however, Percival exhibits a distinct unwillingness to embrace the hardships of ranch life, prompting concern from his relatives. As time passes, through a series of humorous escapades—including a clever scheme involving a washing machine for gold panning—Percival gradually transforms from a weak, disillusioned city dweller into a more spirited individual engaged in the outdoor challenges of Montana. The story culminates in a twist when Percival's cunning reveals a certain shrewdness, as he eventually manipulates the situation to secure the funds he desires to return home, highlighting his growth and adaptability amidst the challenges he faced.
