Jan's December Staff Pick



Where Rivers Change Direction
Mark Spragg
WYOMING F 767 .P3 S67 1999

Mark Spragg’s memoirs are a harsh but revealing account of a boy coming-of-age on a working dude ranch just outside the east gate to Yellowstone Park in the 1950’s. Reality of ranch life is exposed through time spent with his friends, ranch workers, and family.
“Readers expecting a quaint, picturesque yarn will find instead an elemental, powerful confrontation with the naked realities of living and dying.” (This Amazon review says it all!)
Welcome to the ranch life of Wyoming that has not changed that much in 50 years. Go with him and share the experience.
