Life in the Saddle: Writings and Photographs (Wilderness Experience)

If there's a budding cowpoke -- boy or girl -- in your corral, pardner, rope 'em in and set 'em down a spell with this collection of essays and pictures. Ehrlich and her contributors, including novelist Thomas McGuane and environmentalist Dayton O. Hyde, ponder "the balancing act between humans and horses" with honesty and humor, and a decided lack of "cowboy glamour." The photographs supplied by Christopher Marona, David Stoecklein and others are a vital part of this compendium, but the word pictures are the focus of the attention.
