An American Library Association Notable BookIn discrete disclosures joined with the intricacy of an spider's web, James Galvin depicts the hundred-year history of a meadow in the arid mountains of the Colorado/Wyoming border. Galvin describes the seasons, the elements, the wildlife, and the few people who do not have but are themselves possessed by this terrain. In so doing he reveals an event that is part of our own heritage and mythology. For Lyle, Ray, Clara, and App, the battle to survive on an unbiased family ranch is a series of blameless failures and unacclaimed successes that illuminate the Western character. The Meadow evokes a feeling of place that may be achieved only by someone who knows it intimately.
