Legendary western author Max Evans has spent his entire life
working with cows and horses. These rangeland animals, and other
creatures both domestic and wild, play pivotal roles in his
stories. This magnificent collection, beautifully illustrated by
cowboy artist Keith Walters, showcases twenty-six animal tales
penned by Evans during his long and celebrated career.
Both fiction and nonfiction, the stories in this collection get us
inside the heads and hearts of numerous four-legged critters--dogs,
horses, burros, goats, cattle, deer, coyotes, and more. "The Old
One," for example, shows us the world through the eyes of a prairie
dog as she watches her latest litter of pups rolling and tumbling
around the mound and thinks of all the things she will need to
teach them. And in "The One-Eyed Sky," an aging cow with a new calf
and an old coyote with a litter to feed circle each other warily,
trying to protect their young, until a rancher intervenes. Not one
to shy away from difficult subjects, Evans also delves into the
"animal nature" of human beings, as in "The Heart of the Matter,"
where two Vietnam vets and friends kill a deer and then turn their
rifles on each other.
These captivating tales display Evans's trademark mix of raucous
humor and vivid, poetic descriptions of the high plains of West
Texas and his beloved Hi-Lo Country in northeastern New Mexico. He
reminds his readers of simpler times and more honorable people even
as he evokes the merciless environment in which his characters,
both animal and human, struggle to survive.
