American Dude Ranch by Lynn Downey Nothing embodies the life of the Old West more than the dude ranch. Over the years, Hollywood stars such as Bela Lugosi and Gary Cooper to the Rockefellers flocked to these guest ranches to live the cowboy life, riding horses and hunting and fishing — or, in the case of Ernest Hemingway, finishing a novel.
Dude ranching survived economic ups and downs by adapting. When World War I and II broke out and Americans couldn’t go to Europe, dude ranches attracted them west. Guests pitched in to perform the duties of cowboys who’d been drafted. When automobiles and good roads brought the middle class, ranches offered shortened vacations.
Meanwhile, Klara’s half-Jewish dressmaker, Hilde, is trying to escape from Germany. She marries a Jewish man and hides him in the apartment above her fabric shop. When he disappears to search for his family, who has been taken by the Nazis, the pregnant Tilde turns to Klara for help. Hanna is taken into Klara’s scheme to hide Tilde, just as the two girls are sent to a school to learn how to be subservient wives and mothers.
