Life in the Saddle is a spirited and
robust collection about life on the open ranges of the American
West. Editor Gretel Ehrlich—essayist, naturalist,
rancher, and horsewoman—has assembled ten essays by
America’s foremost western writers, to reveal
unforgettable panoramas and entertaining close-ups of a rugged
land and the people who meet it on its own terms. From Point to
Drag, excerpts from Wilderness Ranch by Dayton O. Hyde. In a
sliver from his delightful memoir on ranching life, Wilderness
Ranch, Hyde celebrates the cowboy life in which it was not
necessary to talk—one simply knew where to be and when,
and never stirred up the herd. The subject of this essay is the
twice a year, 4 day cattle drive in Oregon.
