About this book
Cowhands, shared grazing land and the hard work of a round-up give Eugene Manlove Rhodes a practical starting point for this Western novel. The narrator explains how the Bar Cross outfit gathers cattle on the Jornada range, shares men and supplies with neighboring ranches, and matches horses to different jobs. His account mixes working knowledge with jokes about the confidence each outfit places in its own riders.
Around Garfield, the story also turns toward farming, local industry and hopes for better irrigation. Charlie See rides with young companions after visiting a gristmill and a broom factory, while Hobby Lull describes plans for a ditch that could bring more land into use. Armed conflict adds danger to this world of horses and water rights.
