About this book
A forest ranger's work becomes a test of resolve amid the mountains and disputed resources of the American West. Agnes C. Laut opens this frontier novel with Wayland beside his cabin on Holy Cross Mountain, challenged to decide whether he will fight or compromise. Her foreword places the struggle in 1909 and 1910, linking the story to land theft, conflicts over grazing, and officials who protect powerful interests.
The later excerpt follows Wayland and the older frontiersman Mr. Matthews through an exhausting desert crossing. Their conversation brings personal affection into conflict with the demands of public service, asking what a man's work may cost the woman he loves.
