Plot Summary of The Cowboy Way: Seasons of a Montana Ranch
"David McCumber writes an intriguing first-hand look into the workings of a "Modern" American ranch. I have never read a better book on ranch life or the modern American West. It is based in scenic White Sulphur Springs Montana and McCumber brings it all to life with exquisite realism.
