Lord Grizzly, Second Edition (2013)
“The country changed. It became smooth and rolling with league-long slopes, some rising, some falling, with a sky so high under sheep-white cirrus it made the breath short, and all of it cut in the far valleys with deep eroding ocher gullies.
It was shortgrass country: good soil, little or no cactus, very few stones; a minimum of wild salt. It lacked only rain, and rain at the right time, to become the Garden of Eden at last, the wild lily of the valley of men’s dreams.
