About this book

Hugh Gaylord leaves a comfortable, idle life for the sheep ranges of Smoky Land in the Idaho high country, looking to prove himself in a place that offers no shortcuts. Edison Marshall sets his fortunes against the wider life of the wilderness itself, following creatures like the great bull elk Spread Horn through the same hard seasons of hunger, weather, and predators. Man and animal alike are tested, and Gaylord's search for purpose plays out amid feuds, danger, and the slow toughening the mountains demand. Written in 1921, it belongs to the popular tradition of red-blooded outdoor adventure that thrived in the early twentieth century. It is a vivid tale for readers who love wild country and stories of endurance.
