Spring Canyon is the story of the author's childhood as a member of a Norwegian family in a small farming community in Colorado, a story filled with vivid portraits of colorful characters, both human and animal: Uncle Hank, whose periodic visits were a time of sorrow and joy, as he played the roles of head butcher, veterinarian, master mechanic, and healer of broken spirits; Andy, the purebred bull who was as gentle as a lamb; Gil, the farmer who built his dream house, only to have it bring a curse down upon him; Caroline, the young orphan whose heart was weak but whose spirit was as strong as the mountains; Bird and Bell, the great work horses who doubled as dashing steeds for two young sisters; and the sinister Mr. Brown who threatened to destroy the family's dream. Spring Canyon is a warm tale of a time of rich harvests and cruel reapings, of plenty and of want, and of many dear lives remembered and immortalized in these pages.
