The Purchase Price

The Purchase Price is a novel by Emerson Hough that tells the story of a young man named Royce Morgan who inherits his father's ranch in the American West. Royce is determined to make a success of the ranch, but he soon realizes that he is in over his head. He is faced with a series of challenges, including hostile neighbors, harsh weather conditions, and a lack of experience in running a ranch. Despite these obstacles, Royce is determined to succeed and he works tirelessly to make the ranch profitable. Along the way, he meets a young woman named Helen and they fall in love. However, their relationship is threatened by the ongoing feud between the Morgan family and their neighbors. As tensions escalate, Royce must decide whether to fight for his land and his love or to give up and leave the ranch behind. The Purchase Price is a gripping tale of love, loss, and perseverance set against the backdrop of the rugged American West.The headlong haste of both sections was in the year 1850 halted for a time by the sage counsels of such leaders as Clay, in the South, even Webster, in the North. The South claimed, after the close of the Mexican War and the accession of the enormous Spanish territories to the southwest, that the accepted line of compromise established in 1820, by which slavery might not pass north of the parallel of latitude thirty-six degrees, thirty minutes, should be extended westward quite to the Pacific Ocean.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
