Fair Land, Fair Land Paperback - 1995
by Alfred Bertram Guthrie; A. B. Guthrie
With his revered classics The Big Sky and The Way West, A. B. Guthrie, Jr., claimed his preeminent post as the father of the western epic. Fair Land, Fair Land, first published in 1982, marks the sequel to his two masterworks and rounds out a chronological gap, the mid-nineteenth century, in Guthrie's Big Sky series. Reappearing here is Dick Summers, of the earlier sagas, now a wizened conservationist who seeks retribution from his former compatriot Boone Caudill and renewed companionship with the self-reliant Teal Eye. Imbued with a rich sense for the impermanence of the idyllic plains, this tour de force offers a stirring commentary on a country's physical and spiritual erosion, as relevant today as it was a decade ago.

Media reviews
"A.B. Guthrie, Jr. has long been regarded as perhaps America's premiere Western historical novelist. Mr. Guthrie was one of the first to depict Western characters not as stock figures in shoot-'em-ups but as believable human beings struggling with historical forces." The New York Times
