Publisher's Synopsis
Walt Gasson can claim his spot among the best Western essayists of our time. His authentic style mixes grit with grace, faith with fortitude and family. Most importantly his pieces exude genuine love and respect-for people, traditions, Wyoming landscapes and the wild creatures we share open spaces with-and I think all of us, everywhere, can use a little more of that. Walt's writing voice is distinctive... earned... cultivated.
Along a little creek near the tiny community of Opal, Wyoming was the Gasson family sheep ranch. Neither the creek nor the ranch was much of a going concern. But from this place grew the rich stories of the men and women who pioneered the West. Walt Gasson continues the tradition of storytelling in this collection of essays about life in the Green River country.
