Book excerpt: "This is a story of an immense piece of southwest Montana, some twenty-five miles square, that has come to be called the Flying D Ranch, and of the people who have lived there. The Flying D has featured in dreams of vast riches for some and escapes from nightmares for others, or both. Some have cursed the area for not giving up its perceived potential wealth, but others have loved it, even those who despaired of making a living there."--Cover.
