Shining Mountain Range Rider

About this book

A classic Coming of Age Tale, retold for the modern reader, Shining Mountain Range Rider is the prequel to High Range Rustlers Revisited.. . .The Shining Mountain Ranch was carved out of the wilderness in 1887 by Jasper and Silas Buckley. Its vast expanse extended from the prairie's end, westward over the rolling foothills to the base of the mountains in northwestern Montana. In the flatlands to the east, grains and alfalfa were grown to carry the livestock through the long, cold, and unforgiving northern winters. Then came the gently rolling hills and a checkerboard of green pastures, dotted as far as the eye could see with grazing quarter-horses and Hereford cattle.. . .Behind the homestead to the west, a vast sea of pine, spruce, and fir rose toward the High Mountain Summer Range where Don and his dog, Rusty, each had something to prove. . .
