Representaion To Books Monte Walsh

Monte Walsh has never met a horse he couldn’t ride, and Chet Rollins has never met one he couldn’t rope. For a decade they are unbeatable and inseparable, working as trail hands throughout the West until finally settling with Cal Brennan’s Slash Y. Their rough cowboy ethics see them through every imaginable challenge: blizzards, rustlers, outlaws, and card games gone wrong. Partial to pretty women, gambling, and practical jokes, Monte is often on the receiving end of trouble, while Chet is always there to break him out of jail or serve as a decoy until Monte can get out of town in a hurry.

As the West begins to change, however—the automobile replacing the horse, the herds breaking up—the two friends part ways. Chet marries and goes on to become a successful merchant, banker, and politician; but Monte, unable to imagine anything but the cowboy’s way of life, refuses to the end to leave the range.

Column Regarding Books Monte Walsh

This is the best western book I have ever laid hands on. I recommend this book to everyone.

Monte Walsh, along with Lonesome Dove, I consider the best westerns written. Monte Walsh has a lot of western cliches, but Schaefer's portrayal of the protagonist Monte Walsh, his best friend Chet Rollins, and many other characters plus his depictions of the landscape completely rescue the book from those cliches.Monte Walsh along with Gus McRae [sp.] from Lonesome Dove are two of my fictional heroes.

Best western writing I've ever read. Best portrait of horses.

Just finished and I'm crying like a baby. Best book I've read since Lonesome Dove. Ten stars.

Simply a great Western. It stands alongside Elmer Kelton's Hewey Calloway trilogy.

I don't even know what to say....this is just one of my all-time favorite books.

First published in 1963, Monte Walsh is considered by many to be one of the great classic Westerns. Written by Jack Schaefer, who also wrote Shane, Monte Walsh will disappoint those who seek blazing action or steaming romance. Instead it is a story of the decline and eventual disappearance of the free ranging American cowboy, a species increasingly endangered by barbed wire fences, railroads, industrialized ranching, and gasoline engines from 1872 - 1913. It is told through the life of Monte
