Sketches from the Ranch

“Dan Aadland is a cultivated, witty and intelligent inside observer of ranch life. This is a valuable and entertaining book.”—Thomas McGuane, author of Missouri Breaks

“In many ways, [Dan Aadland's] writing will be most powerful in capturing the uniqueness and importance of this way of life.”—Marc Racicot, former governor of Montana

“Running through this engaging book is Aadland’s love of the Montana landscape and its inhabitants, and his implicit destruction of the politically correct myth that ranchers are ruthless exploiters of nature.”—Robert C. Steensma, Western American Literature
