A man proud of his skills and of his independence, so suited to a particular way of life that he wishes no other. This is Monte's story, told with affection and understanding and a sureness of touch that seems to say this is the way it really was. The story unfolds in a series of episodes, each one a small drama in itself. We follow Monte from runaway boy to trail hand, to topnotch cowhand and bronc buster, to aging saddle bum. We see in sharply drawn portraits his companions at the Slash Y, particularly Chet Rollins, his closest friend. Jack Warner Schaefer was born in Cleveland, Ohio, the son of an attorney. He graduated from Oberlin College in 1929 with a major in English. He attended graduate school at Columbia University from 192930, but left without completing his Master of Arts degree. He then went to work for the United Press. In his long career as a journalist, he would hold editorial positions at many eastern publications. Schaefer's first success as a novelist came in 1949 with his memorable novel Shane, set in Wyoming. Few realized that Schaefer himself had never been anywhere near the west. Nevertheless, he continued writing successful westerns, selling his home in Connecticut and moving to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1955.
