Rendition In Favor Of 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.

Notice Of Books Monte Walsh
Interesting saga of a true cowboy.

I don't care what others say, I say it is a wonderful history in novel form of the American cowboy from just after the Civil War until early in the 1900s. The two movies made from the novel are quite good (Lee Marvin and Jack Palance were in one, Tom Selleck in the other), but the book is better and has a different ending. (I wish to add that the first time I read this novel it was an edition much earlier than this particular book.)

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

This book reminds me of my daddy, and my granddaddys so much that it really pulls on the heartstrings.

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.

I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. I'm not usually a Western kind of person. But this isn't really a Western. This is the story of a man, who happens to live in the West. Monte Walsh is, as it says at the end, A Good Man With a Horse. You live his life with him, and the sights, smells, and wonder of the old, untamed West seep in, like the first melt of the snow, creeping through the soil, starting the new grass for the year. I cried at the end. I have been out West, I have seen

I read this book for my daddy. He loved to read, but he was particular about his book choice. He read the Bible, golf books, and nonfiction, especially history. But he did not read literary novels. In fact, he only read one genre of fiction, westerns. Louis L'amour, Zane Gray, and Jack Schaeffer were among his favorites. My mind's eye can easily see him relaxed in his old leather rocker, coffee cup in one hand and a paperback western in the other. Hardly a day went by without him reading at
