Reseña del libro "Mountain Ranch at the end of the Road: Horses, Cows, Guns and Grizzlies in the Canadian Wilderness (en Inglés)"
Why would a Colorado rancher sell the home place?the ranch his family had owned and operated for four generations?and move the entire operation to a remote 300,000-acre spread in British Columbia, Canada? For the adventure! And adventure is what Tom and Connie Hook and their sons found. Two miles above the mighty Fraser River, the Empire Valley Ranch headquarters lay 80 gravel miles beyond the pavement. The range extended another 75 miles further west and higher up into the Coastal Mountains. The Hook's exploits included punching cows in the high country with colorful cowboys who were mostly Indigenous neighbors or outlaws hiding from the RCMP. The hazards, besides mountain weather, included wolves, grizzly bears, cougars, and eagles. Mountain Ranch at the End of the Road is the tale of life on a remote ranch: vast distances, long rides, interesting neighbors, colorful cowboys, unlikely horse stories, and hair-raising wildlife encounters. Tom Hook served God, loved his family, and respected his employees and neighbors. He was a gentleman, a leader, adventurer, cattleman, preacher and beloved father and husband-and, to people all over the West and as far north as Alaska, a loyal friend. In the last months of his life Tom was blogging at CattleToday.com. At over 150,000 hits, his is the top-viewed board. He filed his final post a few days before he died suddenly on February 8, 2011. Many of Tom's readers asked him to publish his stories in book form. What you hold in your hands is the result.
