This is Still the West contains a diverse collection of poetry written by a present-day Idaho rancher. Ted Hoffman provides vivid and lyrical descriptions of the land and the lives of working people who combine fresh air and sunshine with dirt and rain and cattle to produce food and jobs for America today. Along the way they also produce raw, physical adventure, lessons to live by, and responsible young citizens who continue to follow the Code of the West. They keep the open spaces wide and wild and preserve the culture that spawned the icon of American exceptionalism - the cowboy. Hoffman's tales are personal and capture the humor, hope, despair, and pride of these people. He also provides the social and historical perspective that reveals their important role in America today. The gripping illustrations by cowboy artist John Schutte drive home the memorable impressions of this journey among the bucking horses, fast ropes, agile cattle, open range and resourceful people that are still the rural West. Hoffman and Schutte open a rare window into a seldom seen slice of America.
