Along the way, he meets and falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Barbara Worth, who is also involved in the project. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Barbara is engaged to a wealthy landowner named Jefferson Worth.As the construction of the irrigation system progresses, Willard and Barbara find themselves drawn closer together, despite the obstacles in their path. Meanwhile, Jefferson Worth becomes increasingly desperate to protect his land and his financial interests, leading to a dramatic confrontation between the three main characters.The Winning of Barbara Worth is a classic tale of love and ambition set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. It explores themes of greed, sacrifice, and the transformative power of human ingenuity. The book has been praised for its vivid descriptions of the California landscape and its compelling characters, and has remained a popular work of American literature since its publication in 1911.1911. Another story of the West from Wright, who, prior to his artistic and writing career, served as a minister. The book begins: Jefferson Worth's outfit of four mules and a big wagon pulled out of San Felipe at daybreak, headed for Rubio City. From the swinging red tassels on the bridles of the leaders to the galvanized iron water bucket dangling from the tail of the reach back of the rear axle the outfit wore an unmistakable air of prosperity.
