Though a work of fiction, Untaming the Valley reads like historical nonfiction; the details are factual, well-researched, and engrossing: a story of the search into the past history of this valley and its various layers of inhabitants: indigenous, settlers and newcomers. And the narrative: the dialect, the patois the author uses is authentic, easy to understand, and refreshingly contemporary cowboy. It?s a spoken-word narrative that makes each page, each human and natural encounter come alive as we read. This book is a love story at its core, about two people and their shared love of history, of solving mysteries; a courtship that is given legs by their love of horses and cooking, with mouth-watering descriptions of recipes and meals shared with neighbors. This is also a love story about an ancient Valley, its environment, its animals, and what it comes to mean to its indigenous peoples and to the settlers and newcomers drawn here to live out their lives.
