Monte Walsh

By: Jack Schaefer

Narrated by: Eric G. Dove

A classic about the American West and the life and times of one tough cowboy, Monte Walsh. Partial to pretty women, gambling, and practical jokes, Monte doesn't have to look far to find trouble. Luckily for him, Monte's best friend, Chet, is always there to post bail or quickly get Monte out of town. As Monte grows older, though, and the West inevitably changes, he resists changing with it, and shows his dedication and loyalty to the cowboy way of life.

The popular 1970 film starring Lee Havin and Jack Palance is loosely based on this moving story by Jack Schaefer.

Dreamscape is proud to present Monte Walsh, a classic American western not to be missed.

a good man with a horse

absolutely loved every second of this book. tone, characters, and imagery well all done perfectly. I highly recommend.

Friends

I like books that encourage you to be better than you are. Books that have great story, yet leave you with more thanhan you expected. The bo d between two cowboys that knows no distance or time. I was sorry the book ended, and shed tears for Monte, his horse, and Chet

Awesome Book

liked the book better than the movie but that's the norm of all books made into movies

A Cowboy Story

I'd like to write a more detailed review as I LOVED this book even more than the movie (and in fact it has soured my view of the movies, but that's for a different review), but I think I'll put it in two sentences. There are plenty of stories with cowboys in them. but this is a story ABOUT a cowboy. 5/5 Stars!

Monte Walsh is a must read for western fans

Monte Walsh is a man few are like but many rightfully strive to be. this book tells his story from boyhood through his later years, from after the civil war till the end of the wild west. Monte's love of horses and strong sense of individualism keep the spirit of the west alive and is a must read for western fans as it truthfully earns the title of CLASSIC WESTERN.
