Reviews"With humor and pathos author Schaefer chronicles the passing of the Old West. In loosely connected episodes he vividly portrays the life and times of working cowboy Walsh, side-kick Chet Rollins, and other memorable characters of the Slash Y. Here are shootings, cattle drives, winter storms, and spring floods; cattle rustling, romancin' and horse breaking. Man and beast, pushed to the limits of their endurance, survive or perish."-Kliatt

SynopsisMonte 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.

Excellent classic read
I have read Monte Walsh at least 3 times. Amazing fast paced tale of a cowboy towards the end of the cowboy era. Lots of action and at times very funny. Great story, Tom Selleck version of Monte Walsh is closer to the book than Lee Marvin movie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A waste of money
I loved Shane. This is highly touted, but it lands flat. A pity that a great writer should waste his talent in this way.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
