The story is one of ranch life and of the troubles with the so-called cattle-thieves, which eventuated in one of the most dramatic incidents of the ever-dramatic West—the famous "Rustler War."
The cattlemen alleged that their fight was one against "Rustlers"; their opponents contended that they were but honest homesteaders, whose only crime was that of fencing in their possessions, thereby destroying the open range. Owen Wister's great story, "The Virginian," gives the cattlemen's side of the controversy; "The Invaders" is written from the opposing viewpoint.
Into this stirring history, the hero, John Thorpe, a tenderfoot, is precipitated, and it is his part in the struggle that furnishes the thread of the story. The love plot introduced early in the tale enlivens the story and sustains the reader's interest throughout.
