About this book

Gold in the Sierra Blanca country keeps Sherman Bidwell returning to the hills, though his years of prospecting have brought little reward. At Maggie Delaney's restaurant, his request for another supply of food meets sharp resistance from the woman who has repeatedly supported him. Hamlin Garland's collection of Western stories begins with this uneasy mixture of hope, affection and unpaid bills, placing mountain ambitions beside the practical costs of keeping them alive.

The stories turn to cow bosses, wandering riders, prospectors, outlaws and forest rangers in the high country. In one scene, an injured Alice faces a snowbound night in a remote cabin, where a fugitive's skill at tending the fire and preparing food makes him a source of reassurance. Rugged trails and bad weather test people's ability to rely on themselves and each other.

About the author

Hamlin Garland - BDeBooks
Hamlin Garland

A boyhood on farms in Wisconsin, Iowa and Dakota Territory gave Hamlin Garland the material he worked for fifty years. Born in 1860 near West Salem, Wisconsin, he left for Boston in 1884, read Henry George in the public library, and turned single-tax anger into fiction that refused to make prairie farming look picturesque.
