Originally published more than fifty years ago, THE BIG SKY is
the first of A. B. Guthrie, Jr.'s, epic adventure novels of
America's vast frontier. THE BIG SKY introduces Boone Caudill, Jim
Deakins, and Dick Summers, three of the most memorable characters
in Western American literature. Traveling the Missouri River from
St. Louis to the Rockies, these frontiersmen live as trappers,
traders, guides, and explorers. The story centers on Caudill, a
young Kentuckian driven by a raging hunger for life and a longing
for the blue sky and brown earth of big, wild places. Caught up in
the freedom and savagery of the wilderness, Caudill becomes an
untamed mountain man, whom only the beautiful daughter of a
Blackfoot chief dares to love. With THE BIG SKY, Guthrie gives us
an unforgettable portrait of a spacious land and a unique way of
life.
