An American masterpiece and iconic novel of the West--a deeply
moving narrative of one family and the traditions of our national
past.
Lyman Ward is a retired professor of history, recently confined to
a wheelchair by a crippling bone disease and dependant on others
for his every need. Amid the chaos of 1970s counterculture he
retreats to his ancestral home of Grass Valley, California, to
write the biography of his grandmother: an elegant and headstrong
artist and pioneer who, together with her engineer husband, made
her own journey through the hardscrabble West nearly a hundred
years before. In discovering her story he excavates his own,
probing the shadows of his experience and the America that has come
of age around him.
