O knihe
Erwin A. Thompson's Westerns paint a moral universe in which courage,
humor, and wit triumph and love unites and conquers all. Cattle Country
and Back Trail-both set in Wagon Wheel County, six years apart-show
the threat of bloody range wars, powered by greed, and probe strength of
individual integrity, romantic partnership, family, and community.
This is Cattle Country-where you find: The determination to fill a
job that's too big for one man. The courage to defend a friend in a fight
that's not your own. The frustration of Katherine Wade as she stamps her
foot and chides, "Damn Cowards!" The bigness of Ashburn as he raises
his children, ranches, and fights when he must.
In Back Trail Jeff Hawkins rides up from Texas with a dangerous, dark
past he hopes to out-ride. His mettle is tested as he fights for his new
homeland and finds his match.
"I grew up in times and places much like Erwin Thompson paints in
Cattle Country and Back Trail. Although those times are gone,
Thompson's well-written voice rings true with the memory and flavor of
a world that should not be lost."
-Jim Lyle, author of Things Seen in the Dessert
"With crispness and gentle wit, Erwin Thompson's stories take us back
to earlier times then give us nurture for the return trip to the present. A
keen observer of people and their ways, his words help us enter and
live those stories with him."
-Jane Kirkpatrick, Wrangler Award-winning author
of A Sweetness to the Soul and A Clearing in the Wild.
