About This Book
A first-person memoir recounts early family hardship and decades lived on the northern plains, offering episodic recollections of ranch work, roundups, line riding, horse-breaking, and encounters with predators and wildlife. The narrative describes interactions with Indigenous people, episodes of range conflict, vivid anecdotes about fellow hands and a close friendship with a Western artist, and practical, often humorous reflections on skills, dangers, and the informal philosophy that shaped life on the open range.
