"Old Jake Hanlon sits on the edge of the mesa and looks out over
miles of southwestern plain," starts Jack Schaefer's all-ages novel
Mavericks. Old Jake Hanlon is "ancient and craglike, weathered and
withered . . . something like a worn rocky butte himself." Living
in his memories, Hanlon prefers to reflect on his youth, when he
lived every cowboy's dream, rather than think about the old man he
has become, now labeled "a decrepit old nuisance" by the folks in
town. Ultimately, it is Old Jake's recollection of the tales of his
past-stories of endurance, strength, compassion, and cunning-that
helps prepare him for death.
