SAND

This is a story of cow camps, wild horses, the open range, cowboys and their entanglements with a beautiful, sought-after woman. Will James wrote and illustrated 24 books that have recently been reissued. Connor O'Brien narrates without the dialect that yearns to be heard. In a flat Western lingo he tells a vivid story of the men managing cattle, seeking romance and wrestling with horses. The emotion of these lives and times endures beyond this prosaic narration.
