Gib: A Contemporary Western

The last natural cowboy and the last natural Grizzly duel in the wilderness of Yellowstone — both of them hungry for a death with meaning.Gib is the story of the passing of a generation of men who suffered the Great Depression, fought in WWII and Korea, then lived to mourn the greatest threat yet to their way of life - the gentrification of the West. It is also the story of a ranching family's struggle to save the home ranch, and their share of the threatened ranching culture.UPDATED 2021“Jon Horton is a Wyoming treasure and he has given us another Western gem. In GIB he has managed to fashion a piece that reflects the unadorned but beautifully elusive quality of life in the real west . If you are new to the land, this will help you to understand it. If you were born here, you will know this as the real thing…pure gold! — W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear , Author of People of the Mask" GIB was wrought with the sure hand of a writer who knows the real west and the passion of a man who loves it ." — Win Blevins , Winner Western Writers of American Spur Award for Stone Song .
