The Open Range Men,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Open Range Men: A Walker Western (Hardcover)
Keven Costner's movie "Open Range" was based on this novel. I found it to be a highly enjoyable read and the detail the author puts into his story line is compelling. If you like Westerns, this should be added to your list of must reads. It details the tension that developes as society changes, moving from the expansive wide open ranges as America moved west to the "intrusion" of communities that slowly closes off the open range. The two primary characters realize they are part of a dying breed- Open Range Men - much in the same respect as the frontiersman who came before them. Paine beautifully describes the life of open range men, what draws them to it and what keeps them in it despite the hardships, the sufferings and the loneliness. Who among us has not dreamed of riding the saddle beneath vast expanses of blue sky, bedding down next to a glowing fire while a million stars filled the heavens? Who has not dreamed of the utter simplicity of the open range.
