About This Book

The narrative follows frontier life and episodic Western adventures centered on a young boy and his father who leave their homestead, and on a traveler who seeks experience in the open country. Encounters with drifters, singing riders, stolen and tracked horses, small-town dealings, and tests of skill and loyalty propel a series of vignettes across mesas, foothills, and ranches. The work emphasizes resourcefulness, the precariousness of frontier existence, and the shifting alliances formed by men and youths who live by luck and the trail.
