This book is a western novel about a cowboy accused of commiting a crime. The first part of the book describes his love of the land, horses, and ranch life. His aims and goals in the future.A person who takes and gives back to nature. Suddenly, his life changes, he is accused of a crime. He evades the law by entering the "bad lands" of the Black Hills in the Dakotas. He fights to clear his name and prove his innocence. And for the young girl who loves him. He has no idea how she is reacting to the events taking place at the time. The author's color and descripition are well written without fullness. His timing is also well defined with the ability to keep your attention, but not so rapid as to tire you out. It is woven to intrigue you and keep your interest. Touching on the incidentals of the living life as a cowboy. My being raised around cowboys and fimilar with ranching, his descrptions are well chosen and are not wasteful. This was one book I truly hated to see it end. Andy Juniper a wrote another book, a western novel that is also out of print, I would like to read it also. I read Sweet Grass in the late '40s about 3 or 4 times and would love to read it again. James Scoggin
