About This Book

The story centers on an aging cattleman who, stirred by spring roundup, joins a troupe of ranch hands and a film company on the open range, reviving old routines and rivalries. Interwoven are camp scenes and roundup action, and the quiet courtship of a young woman, the daughter of a chief, who watches and waits as she navigates affection for a neighboring rancher. Conflicts of pride, land and livelihood, cultural difference, and personal loyalty unfold through episodic chapters that balance rugged outdoor work with intimate moments and negotiations between communities.
