About This Book

Two men crossing a vast, sun-scorched expanse run low on food and rest by a desert spring, where a red-headed buckboard driver appears and offers help and company toward the distant Half Moon corrals. The story traces their onward travel through arid, treeless country, the practical tasks of riding and camp life, and encounters with local frontier characters. It examines survival under harsh conditions, the tension between urban comforts and rugged country living, and the bonds and judgments that form between travelers tested by environment and circumstance.
