	AADLAND, DAN; HART, SUE (INTRODUCTION); CARPENTER, NIK (ILLUSTRATIONS). Sketches From The Ranch: A Montana Memoir. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2008. Softcover. Brand new book. In 1892 a stocky Danish immigrant named Magnus Jensen rode into south-central Montana. He liked what he saw and staked his future on the ranch he would carve out there. Today, Dan Aadland and his wife, Emily, live on the ranch built by Jensen, Emily's grandfather. More than a century has passed, but the nature of ranching in Montana is little changed. Sensitive to the timelessness of the land, author Aadland approaches his ranching life as Thoreau approached life at Walden Pond. In Sketches from the Ranch, Aadland brings ranching to life within the framework of one recent year. In simple but moving prose, he evokes the harsh beauty of the West, writing with as much elegance about breaking a colt as he does about the inner lives of cattle, the way his pickup handles in the snow, or how the relationship between a man and his horse often defines a good day on the ranch. Beautifully illustrated and lovingly told, Sketches from the Ranch bears poetic witness to the myth and reality that are the West. Dan Aadland is a former teacher who ranches and breeds horses near Absarokee, Montana. He is the author of seven books, including The Best of All Seasons: Fifty Years as a Montana Hunter (Nebraska 2007) and The Complete Trail Horse: Selecting, Training, and Enjoying Your Horse in the Backcountry. Running through this engaging book is Aadland's love of the Montana landscape and its inhabitants, and his implicit destruction of the politically correct myth that ranchers are ruthless exploiters of nature.ÑRobert C. Steensma, Western American Literature Dan Aadland is a cultivated, witty and intelligent inside observer of ranch life. This is a valuable and entertaining book.ÑThomas McGuane, author of Missouri Breaks In many ways, [Dan Aadland's] writing will be most powerful in capturing the uniqueness and importance of this way of life.ÑMarc Racicot, former governor of Montana ¶ 280 pages.

Arana shuttled easily between these deeply separate cultures for years. But only when she immigrated with her family to the United States did she come to understand that she was a hybrid American whose cultural identity was split in half. Coming to terms with this split is at the heart of this graceful, beautifully realized portrait of a child who was anorth-south collision, a New World fusion. An American chica. The top rank of memoir...Arana's writing skills elevate the book to outright lyricism in chapter after chapter. - The Denver Post ¶ 310 pages.

	BALLAM, J. D. The Road To Harmony: An Appalachian Childhood. Long Barn Books, Ebrington: 1999. Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition. I was awakened to my own life in the summer of 1970. It was in that year that the past was given to my five senses. In that year, J. D. Ballam's parents reclaimed the derelict family farm in Harmony, at the foot of Catoctin Mountain. The story of his growing up in this remote place where life had not changed for hundreds of years is a celebration and a lament, a recreation in breathtaking prose of a world, a people and a way of life now gone. But the characters live again for us, in unforgettable scenes of beauty, humor and vitality. This is also a tender portrait of a boy growing up into his inheritance - and his necessary leaving of it. The Road to Harmony gave me infinite pleasure. It is lyrical, with pros which dances and sparkles like a mountain stream and is just as refreshing. A book to cherish. - Dirk Bogarde ¶ 192 pages.
