The unclipped dust jacket is in very good condition with minor edge/shelf wear. See photos. From RAVE Amazon reviews: "Another Elmer Kelton tale of Texas in the days of the old west. Great stuff."; "The book renders a cowboys' strike - a fascinating concept - that actually happened, on ranches in the Canadian River region of west Texas circa 1883. By Kelton's lights, the strike occurred in the crucible of corporate encroachment upon the cattle industry that brought an end to the free range. Rationalization and greater efficiency in the beef business left the liberty loving cowboys with a beef of their own and they struck in response to it. This novel is a beautifully paced, tightly constructed page-turner that manages to treat deeper afflictions in the American condition for those who want to see them, without boring those who just want a good western yarn."; "I am already determined to order more of Kelton's books, based upon the enjoyment, the relaxation, the calm fascinating probing of real life in Texas not so many years ago. I cannot imagine ANYONE not enjoying Elmer Kelton books! Try him! You'll be hooked as I am."
