More about the book
Mark Spragg grew up on the oldest dude ranch in Wyoming - a remote spread in the Shoshone National Forest. It is a sublime but unforgiving landscape, a place of unrelenting winds, pitiless blizzards, fierce rivers, and the men who work there have to be tough to survive. Spragg writes lyrically of this world, its animals - horses, bears, elk - and of its people, in particular his parents and John, an old cowboy who becomes the boy's mentor. This is a book about joy - Spragg's writing is miraculous; tough but beautiful, passionate and funny.
