When a Man's a Man is a novel by Harold Bell Wright, first published in 1916. The story is set in the American West during the early 20th century and follows the life of Buck Ogilvy, a young cowboy who is determined to prove himself as a man. Buck is a proud and independent character who is not afraid to take risks and face challenges. He falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Lucy, but their relationship is complicated by Buck's determination to live life on his own terms. As Buck struggles to find his place in the world, he must confront his own fears and insecurities, as well as the harsh realities of life in the Wild West. The novel explores themes of masculinity, independence, and the struggle for self-discovery. It is a classic Western tale that captures the spirit of the American frontier and the challenges faced by those who dared to tame it.1916. A wonderful story of the West from Wright, who, prior to his artistic and writing career, served as a minister. The story begins: There is a land where a man, to live, must be a man. It is a land of granite and marble and porphyry and gold-and a man's strength must be as the strength of the primeval hills. It is a land of oaks and cedars and pines-and a man's mental grace must be as the grace of the untamed trees. It is a land of far-arched and unstained skies, where the wind sweeps free and untainted, and the atmosphere is the atmosphere of those places that remain as God made them-and a man's soul must be as the unstained skies, the unburdened wind, and the untainted atmosphere. It is a land of wide mesas, of wild, rolling pastures and broad, untilled, valley meadows-and a man's freedom must be that freedom which is not bounded by the fences of a too weak and timid conventionalism.
