Publisher's Synopsis
It's the summer of 1939, and thanks to the New Deal's WPA, New England landscape artist Euclid Lane has come to paint the high mountain country along the Continental Divide in northwest Colorado. Wilderness and solitude are what Euclid is expecting, but when a local cowgirl by the name of Ursuline Kelley offers him a proposition, the picture changes. Past conflicts and misunderstandings between miners, ranchers, rangers, and sheepherders, epic accounts of death and survival in the wilderness--and new mysteries as well-- unfold and intertwine as Euclid finds trails into the heart of a beautiful and rugged country where aspects and attitudes of the old west remain alive.
