Author John Pagani writes, “Hooves hammered the hard, cold soil, shattering already weathered and worn rock and stone into small shards and fragments. They churned choking clouds of brown dust into the harsh winter air. Each galloping hoof repeatedly landed a dull, thumping thud as the horses sped across the barren land. Powerful legs, in a race against a coming storm, which was soon to close an approaching pass with deep drifts of unpassable snow, drove the striding herd. Their heaving chests chugged billowing white clouds of hot breath from gaping mouths, each accompanied with a low, resonant huff arising from labored lungs. Chests and shoulders lathered as elastic ropes of thick, sticky spittle flew from the charging horses’ mouths.” Descriptive panoramas of endless forests, towering mountains, and tumbling waterfalls are the backdrop through all facets of the book. The deep beauty of coastal redwood forests and rugged coastlines provide stunning imagery. The story is colored with early American pioneering customs, skills, and ways of life.
