"Alcatraz," written by Max Brand in the early 20th century, is a novel that immerses readers in the wild and untamed spirit of the American West, showcasing the bond between powerful horses and their riders. The story revolves around Alcatraz, a once-majestic stallion who has become a mere shadow of his former self due to the cruel treatment by his owner, Manuel Cordova. The novel explores themes of freedom, resilience, and the complex relationships between humans and animals, all set against the backdrop of horseback racing and ranch life.

For two reasons, he kept the animal systematically undernourished: one was that he was thereby able to get better odds; the other was that on only a weakened Alcatraz would he trust himself. At this, she did not wonder for never had she seen such almost human viciousness of temper in a dumb beast. “As for running, señorita,” continued Cordova, “sometimes he does very well—yes, very well. But when he is dull, the spurs are nothing to him.” He indicated a crisscrossing of scars on the flank of the stallion and Marianne, biting her lips, realized that she must leave at once if she wished to avoid showing her contempt and her anger. She was a mile down the road and entering the main street of Glosterville before her temper cooled. She decided that it was best to forget both Alcatraz and his master; they were equally matched in devilishness. Her last hope of seeing the mares beaten was gone, and with it all chance of buying them at a reasonable figure; for no matter what the potentialities of Alcatraz in his present starved condition, he could not compare with the bays. She thought of Lady Mary with the sunlight rippling over her shoulder muscles. Certainly, Alcatraz would never come within whisking distance of her tail! ＊＊＊＊＊ The location of the original text file: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/... ＊＊＊＊＊ The location of the original audio file: https://librivox.org/alcatraz-by-max-...
