Description
"Galloping through the lush, beaver-worked draw looking for stray cows, Mike Arans never imagined that he was about to kill a man by swinging a nylon lasso around his neck. Once the man was dead, Mike pulled a notepad and pencil stub from his pocket and wrote, "I did this." He signed the note and stuffed it into the dead man's breast pocket. Mike then returned home, stocked up on supplies, and within minutes was heading west."--BOOK JACKET. "Thus begins what turns out to be a dramatic escape into the rugged wilderness of northern Colorado and Wyoming. The novel's deeper story, however, goes back many years and confronts the issues that divide contemporary westerners. At its center are Ad, Oscar, and Mike, whose lives turn with the seasons and the rigors of ranch life - mountain-hardened men who do not possess but are themselves possessed by the land."--BOOK JACKET. "Fencing the Sky reveals how passion can send circumstances spiraling out of control: the inevitable clash when people believe the land they love is threatened."--BOOK JACKET.
