Description:
Originally published in
1963, Monte Walsh continues to delight readers as a Western classic and
popular favorite. The novel explores the cowboy lives of Monte Walsh and Chet
Rollins as they carouse, ride, and work at the Slash Y with Cal Brennan. As the
West changes and their cowboy antics are challenged, the two must part ways to
pursue new ways of life. Chet marries and goes on to become a successful
merchant and then a politician, while Monte can only find solace in continuing
the cowboy's way of life until the very end.
"Many consider Monte
Walsh one of the best Westerns ever written." – True West.

for I know
it will do me good,
and help me through the day.
