Surprisingly good book about the life of a ranch post-WWI, through the depression and through WWII. Rowland develops his characters well and gives a sense of the isolation of life on the prairie during this time, when the West wasn't quite as settled as we might think it was. A no-frills picture of the simplicity and hardship that the ranchers chose when they chose to make their lives about the land.
