Grass Beyond the Mountains: Discovering the Last Great Cattle Frontier on the North American Continent (Canadian Nature Classics) - Hobson, Richmond P.

Clean, tight, unmarked; circular damp imprint to back of dust jacket; price clipped; slight wear to corners of dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; covers are turquoise with gilt titles and design; Rich Hobson dedicates this epic tale of discovery and exploration of North America's last great cattle frontier to his friends - the nine courageous horses who conquered the silent, lonely trails. Three cowhands with a dream of owning a cattle ranch made a heroic pioneer trek across uncharted mountain ranges to open up the frontier grasslands in norther British Columbia during the early thirties. This is their incredible story of pioneer discovery in the 20th century. With laconic cowboy humour, Hobson describes the life-and-death escapades, the funny and tragic incidents peopled with extraordinary frontier characters, in the true adventure that surpasses the most thrilling wild west fiction.
