First published in 1935, "Old Jules" is unquestionably Mari
Sandoz's masterpiece. This portrait of her pioneer father grew out
of "the silent hours of listening behind the stove or the wood box,
when it was assumed, of course, that I was asleep in bed. So it was
that I heard the accounts of the hunts," Sandoz recalls. "Of the
fights with the cattlemen and the sheepmen, of the tragic scarcity
of women, when a man had to 'marry anything that got off the train,
' of the droughts, the storms, the wind and isolation. But the most
impressive stories were those told me by Old Jules himself." This
Bison Books edition includes a new introduction by Linda M.
Hasselstrom.
