Lonesome Land is a thrilling tale of love, loyalty, and the challenges of life in the Wild West.With one of her quick changes of mood she rose, patted her hair smooth, caught up a wrap oddly inharmonious with the gown and slippers, looped her train over her arm, took her violin, and ran lightly down-stairs.
