Monte Walsh

　　"With humor and pathos author Schaefer chronicles the passing of the Old West. In loosely connected episodes he vividly portrays the life and times of working cowboy Walsh, side-kick Chet Rollins and other memorable characters of the SlashY. Here are shootings, cattle drives, winter storms, and spring floods; cattle rustling, romancin' and horse breaking. Man and beast, pushed to the limits of their endurance, survive or perish."-Kliatt. "A true American classic in literature. . . . The book is capable of giving great pleasure."-Rawlins Times.
