He writes lyrically of this world, its animals - horses, bears, elk - and of its people, in particular his parents and John, an old cowboy who became his mentor.

Interesting insight in to a boy becoming a man in the country I grew up in and a person I know.

Outstanding western memoir
The memoir of a Wyoming adolescence is beautifully and poetically written. I found the stories wonderfully evocative. The richness of the descriptions contrasted eloquently with the sparse and succinct dialogue. My only disappointment was the lengthy yet segmented final chapter describing his mother's long battle with emphysema and ultimate death. I felt that this was a separate story which didn't seem to me to flow well with the rest of the book.
