About this book
Spring twilight over the Colorado range finds a tired cowpuncher in a bitter mood. He urges his exhausted horse along a rocky trail, then pauses at the sight of a hungry coyote carrying away a rabbit. The animal's struggle prompts a change in his thoughts. Frank Mayer begins this ranch novel with a man looking back on college ambitions, dishonest employers and the disappointments that have hardened his view of other people.
Published in 1910, the story places personal ideals under pressure amid ranch work and tense confrontations. A private meeting brings Douglass face to face with Coogan over cattle hides bearing altered brands, gold coins and a packet of letters. Armed cowboys wait nearby as preparations are made for a card game. Detailed landscape writing gives way to brisk exchanges and watchful gestures, offering readers both the rhythms of range life and a study of anger, honesty and wounded pride.
