About This Book

A collection of short stories, sketches, and a poem portraying ranch and range life in the Southwest. Episodes move between roundup and cattle-drive scenes, stampedes, pack-mule mishaps, and encounters with Navajo craft and prehistoric ruins, set against solitary desert landscapes. The pieces mix action and practical detail with wry humor and camaraderie among trail hands, alternating lively anecdotes about outlaws, lost travelers, and animal behavior with quieter descriptive passages, occasional illustrations, and a cowboy song.
