About this audiobook
Between Square Buttes is 35 short pieces that chronicle the American West over the last 50 years. It is bird hunting, fly fishing, dog breeding, dog trialing, decline of habitat, loss of access, but mostly it is the story of the greatness that still exists in America today.
It started as a tribute to the last best place, Montana. But in the end, it may be the beginning of the end of the last best place. Told anecdotally, it brings to life the rivers, the plains, and the dogs that hunt these vast stretches of prairie. And finally, it tells of the changes in land ownership in the West as more and more of it is being eaten up by developers and new landowners from all over the world who want a piece of it before it all goes away. Revel in the rare beauty and incredible richness through the eyes and understanding of a man who has been there and done that.
Between Square Buttes will make you happy, make you sad, lift your spirit and break your heart as you follow the life of a serious fly fisherman and bird hunter who hunted and fished the best when it was the best and left the rest behind in search of more rivers, and newer land to hunt.
