Emerson Hough wrote a book titled "The Girl at the Halfway House," which was released in 1900. The narrative, which is set in the late 19th-century American West, centres on the adventures of Nan Brent, a mysterious and self-reliant young woman who becomes stuck in a desolate halfway house in the Wyoming wilderness. Nan gets entangled in the lives and struggles of the various people that dwell in the halfway house, such as innovators, cowboys, and outlaws, as she gets to know them. The main source of conflict is the rivalry between the homeowners and ranchers in the area as well as the potential for violence from a renown criminal group headed by Black Bart Haines. Nan's inventiveness and strong will make her an invaluable mediator in conflict resolution. As Nan works through the difficulties of life on the harsh western frontier, themes of justice, atonement, and the wild west are explored throughout the book. The storyline gains levels of mystery and suspense as Nan's true identity and her affiliation with the criminal gang become clear throughout the story.

Excerpt from Young Alaskans in the Far North "Well, fellows," said Jesse Wilcox, the youngest of the three boys who stood now at the ragged railway station of Athabasca Landing, where they had just disembarked, "here we are once more. For my part, I'm ready to start right now." He spoke somewhat pompously for a youth no more than fifteen years of age. John Hardy and Rob McIntyre, his two companions, somewhat older than himself, laughed at him as he sat now on his pack-bag, which had just been tossed off the baggage-car of the train that had brought them hither. "You might wait for Uncle Dick," said John. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Well, here we are, fellows," said Jesse Wilcox, as he threw down an armful of wood at the side of the camp-fire. "For my part, I believe this is going to be about the best trip we ever had." "That's what I was telling Rob to-day," said John Hardy, setting down a pail of water near by. "But I hope I won't have to carry water up a bank a hundred feet high every night." "We are not as far north this time as we were last summer," said Jesse, "but the country looks something the same." "Yes," replied John, "but last year we were going east and farther away from home every day. Now we're going west to the Rockies and across them, getting closer to home all the time." Rob McIntyre, the oldest of our friends who had made so many trips together in the wilderness, sat silent, as was often his custom, smiling out of his frank blue eyes at his companions.

Excerpt from The Sagebrusher: A Story of the West "Sim," said Wid gardner, as he cast a frowning glance around him, "take it one way with another, and I expect this is a leetle the dirtiest place in the Two-Forks Valley." The man accosted did no more than turn a mild blue eye toward the speaker and resume his whittling. He smiled faintly, with a sort of apology, as the other went on. "I'll say more'n that, Sim. It's the blamedest, dirtiest hole in the whole state of Montany - yes, or in the whole wide world. Lookit!" He swept a hand around, indicating the interior of the single-room log cabin in which they sat. "Well," commented Sim Gage after a time, taking a meditative but wholly unagitated tobacco shot at the cook stove, "I ain't saying she is and I ain't saying she ain't. But I never did say I was a perfessional housekeeper, did I now?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Purchase Price: Or the Cause of Compromise "Madam, you are charming! You have not slept, and yet you smile. No man could ask a better prisoner." She turned to him, smiling faintly. "I thank you. At least we have had breakfast, and for such mercy I am grateful to my jailer. I admit I was famished. What now?"
