Editorial Reviews
Review
"Dan Aadland is a cultivated, witty, and intelligent inside observer of ranch life. This is a valuable and entertaining book."
-- Thomas McGuane, author of The Missouri Breaks
--This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Book Description
Sketches in the title has a dual meaning, referring both to the words that Dan Aadland uses to beautifully limn a fascinating way of life and Nik Carpenters illustrations that so appealingly portray that life. Thus an increasingly rare occurrence, that of working the same land as ones forebears, is illuminated for everyone to experience and appreciate. We learn how the four seasons of the year and the interaction of people with their horses and other livestock shape life on a ranch and foster a continuity between the generations.
