An aging scout meets a changing world in the closing movement of an American saga. Cooper’s wide skies and careful action frame questions about settlement, stewardship, and what it means to leave well. It is an elegy for wilderness and for the codes that once governed it.
Conservation, migration, and the legacy of frontier myths are current. This novel helps separate romance from responsibility.
Land as more than backdrop.
