About this title: "With humor and pathos author Schaefer chronicles the passing of the Old West. In loosely connected episodes he vividly portrays the life and times of working cowboy Walsh, side-kick Chet Rollins and other memorable characters of the SlashY. Here are shootings, cattle drives, winter storms, and spring floods; cattle rustling, romancin' and horse breaking. Man and beast, pushed to the limits of their endurance, survive or perish."-Kliatt. "A true American classic in literature. . . . The book is capable of giving great pleasure."-Rawlins Times.

"I don't care what others say, I say it is a wonderful history in novel form of the American cowboy from just after the Civil War until early in the 1900s. The two movies made from the novel are quite good (Lee Marvin and Jack Palance were in one, Tom Selleck in the other), but the book is better and has a different ending. (I wish to add that the first time I read this novel it was an edition much earlier than this particular book.)"
"This was a slow read, but thoroughly enjoyable. It was a peaceful escape to another time and place that I could imagine myself embracing. Maybe that's why it took me so long to finish: I didn't want to leave.
The writing style reflected well the environment it painted."
"Story of a man, his horses - with a decided preference for buckskins - and the coming of the wire to the West. I've read this book at least 10 times, and it still breaks my heart."
"I'm not going to say much about this book because I confess I'm not really into the Western genre. At first I hated it, the dialog full of "shucks" and "my oh my", but as I got into it grew on me. Still not a book I would pick to read myself--doesn't hold my attention. But as far as Westerns go, it's supposed to be one of the best."
