While working as a bank president in McCook, Nebraska, Spearman, in his dreams, dwelt among the prairies and wilderness of the West. He lived at the beginning of the 20th century – when the railways network was actively built across the states. Most of his novels are dedicated to living on the early western railroads. Yet, the book "Laramie Holds the Range" focuses on the life of cattle rustlers and romantic cowboy heroes. It revokes the romantics of that distant era populated by fearless people able to do everything to reach their dreams.
