In 1892 a stocky Danish immigrant named Magnus Jensen rode into
south-central Montana. He liked what he saw and staked his future
on the ranch he would carve out there. Today, Dan Aadland and his
wife, Emily, live on the ranch built by Jensen, Emily's
grandfather. More than a century has passed, but the nature of
ranching in Montana is little changed. Sensitive to the
timelessness of the land, author Aadland approaches his ranching
life as Thoreau approached life at Walden Pond. In "Sketches from
the Ranch," Aadland brings ranching to life within the framework of
one recent year. In simple but moving prose, he evokes the harsh
beauty of the West, writing with as much elegance about breaking a
colt as he does about the inner lives of cattle, the way his pickup
handles in the snow, or how the relationship between a man and his
horse often defines a good day on the ranch. Beautifully
illustrated and lovingly told, "Sketches from the Ranch" bears
poetic witness to the myth and reality that are the West.
