Book has a very light bumping at the head and tail of the spine. White endpapers. Previous owner's name on the upper edge of the free front endpaper and the front endpaper in small letters. Binding is straight and tight. Faint evidence of handling on the upper and lower edges of the textblock, but pages inside are all clean, white, and crisp. 405 pages. Dust Jacket - has a trace of rubbing at the very tips of the two lower outside corners. Spine is very faintly sunned, but the lettering is still clean and easy to read and the image still has color differentiation. Upper corner of the front inside flap has been price clipped. Not a perfect copy, but still tight, clean, and easy to look at. Doig's fifth book.

Reviews
Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
The settlement of Montana between 1890 and 1919 is recounted through the quiet but compelling life of Angus McCaskill, a young Scotsman who travels with his friend Rob Barclay to Montana's Two Medicine Country to homestead. Doig writes fervently of the voyage from Scotland and the lean first years, as the two share the work and hardship of establishing claims and building up flocks of sheep. He tells of their separate marriages, the severing of their friendship, and the final resolution of their conflict through death. Doig successfully recaptures the violence of the Montana elements and the staunch heritage of the Scottish settlers which served so well in his earlier novel English Creek and faithfully represents the struggle for survival on the frontier as he continues the McCaskills' story. Highly recommended. Thomas L. Kilpatrick, Southern Illinois Univ. Lib., Carbondale
