Big Hills

A boy succeeds through hard work and imaginative violence. Young Anson Kerrigan begins his tale atop a tall red horse, leading an elderly mule, starving and alone in country both strange to him and full of hostiles. His possessions are minimal, and long worn. While the boy copes, sometimes at great effort and in tremendous danger, there is a reality to how he copes that makes this little western a gripping read.
