High Lonesome
An old cowhand by a woodstove, the wind getting up outside, and one long story from the open-range years.
Read the back cover
He rode for the big outfits when the West was still open, and he has stories that take a while to tell.
A drover who lost everything at a river crossing. A horse trader nobody could find. A promise that took twenty years to keep, and turned out to be the start of something rather than the end.
Each episode is one complete story, about twenty-five minutes, from the trail drives and homesteads of the eighteen seventies to the turn of the century. The weather is hard and the country is wide, and what holds it all together is a person keeping their word.
