On the border between Colorado and Wyoming, at an altitude where a man can be said to be closer to heaven than to earth, lies a prairie as remote as it is inhospitable. Over the course of a century, several families failed in their attempt to settle there. Only one person managed it. It lasted fifty years. This is his story and that of the pioneers who preceded him. With a great sensitivity to capture the beauty and immensity of the American rural landscape, James Galvin tells the life of Lyle, Ray, Clara and App and the successive owners of a ranch composed of a 300-acre hay meadow. In short, incisive vignettes, he captures the passing of the seasons, the weather, the wildlife, and, above all, the men and women who cut down his trees, fish in his rivers, and mow his pastures as they strive to make a home in a wilderness where any misstep can prove deadly.
