Synopses & Reviews
This is a very personal, literate, often very funny story of the West in the 1930s just as it was changing from an open territory to the settled land it is now. Ms Price gave up a life as a nurse to a millionaire to travel Death Valley, Nevada, and the Arizona Strip behind a burro. The characters she meets come to life in this book; from the old prospectors, Mormon farmers, thieves, and people who would give their last bite of food to a couple of strangers.
