Reality on the Wyoming frontier in the late 1800's has scorched Simon Steele's idealism. He's killed a man he didn't have to, betrayed and driven away his best friend, and seen what's left of his morals reduced to an occasional twinge of conscience. He recognizes the need for new horizons, and a Shoshoni Indian tells him of a place in the Idaho Territory where he can find peace and a way to restore his shattered self-esteem.
About the author
Wallace J. Swenson was born and raised in a small rural town in southeast Idaho. From the very beginning, he lived a life of hard work supported by a strong family. He was taught by example the value of honesty and loyalty, and it is about such that he wrote. His family numbered ten, and though poor in a material sense, he considered himself blessed beyond measure in the spiritual. He resided with his wife of fifty plus years, Jacquelyn, near where both were born, and close to all their children and grandchildren. He intended to live there the rest of his life as he was allowed to breathe and spend that time putting down on paper the dozens of stories that whirled around inside his head. He did just that. Wallace J. Swenson died suddenly in February of 2015. He left a literary legacy that this book is a small part of.
