Hidden atop Montana¿s Pryor Mountain, the last of the purebred Spanish mustangs still roam free. They are the direct descendants of Cortez¿s noble jennets and a rare breed. For over two hundred years they have lived in an isolated Garden of Eden, safe from the outside world and the most feared predator of all ¿ man. But in 1919, when a band of cowboys discover their whereabouts, all tranquility ends. The taking of free mustangs on Federal land becomes a lucrative but tainted business. Over the next twenty years the cowboys systematically slaughter thirty thousand horses and ship the carcasses to cannery plants hungry for cheap feed. By the summer of 1939, less than one thousand jennets remain alive. Enter seventeen-year-old Billy Bartell. Desperate to flee a macabre life as a mortician, Billy all-too eagerly takes up company among the last of the old West drovers. It seems Billy has the requisite skills to both hunt down the horses and prep the creatures¿ carcasses for the iced-down boxcars. Yet, the pact he makes with the camp boss, Captain Belial, may not have been his wisest decision. Getting out of a pact with the devil never is. Now, Billy is faced with another monumental decision: continue eradicating the herds or save the last of the good horses from extinction.

When eighth grader Abby Lovitt looks out at those pure-gold rolling hills, she knows there’s no place she’d rather be than her family’s ranch—even with all the hard work of tending to nine horses. But some chores are no work at all, like grooming young Jack. At eight months, his rough foal coat has shed out, leaving a smooth, rich silk, like chocolate. As for Black George, such a good horse, it turns out he’s a natural jumper. When he and Abby clear four feet easy as pie, heads start to turn at the ring—buyers’ heads—and Abby knows Daddy won’t turn down a good offer. Then a letter arrives from a private investigator, and suddenly Abby stands to lose not one horse but two. The letter states that Jack’s mare may have been sold to the Lovitts as stolen goods. A mystery unfolds, more surprising than Abby could ever expect. Will she lose her beloved Jack to his rightful owners? Pulitzer Prize winner Jane Smiley raises horses of her own, and her affection and expertise shine through in this inviting horse novel for young readers, set in 1960s California horse country and featuring characters from The Georges and the Jewels.

"David Martin Anderson perfectly blends three alternate realities into one superbly striking story in his latest novel. BEATY BUTTE.. Written with a first-person perspective, it is impossible not to fall completely in love with the main protagonist (Billy Bartell), not to mention the magnificently fleshed out supporting characters. The reader gets the opportunity to see three different endings to three different stories. All three endings of this book left me feeling satisfied, crying happy tears, and sporting delighted goosebumps. Anderson did not hold back on this exquisite piece of literature.There is absolutely nothing I disliked about this book, and so much I loved. Even though the book is fictional, it does a wonderful job of seeming quite realistic. I was coerced by the descriptive landscapes and mountains and ended up doing a little googling of my own. There is a real Beaty Butte Wild Horse Training Facility that tames the wild horses in the 437,120-acre area, and eventually allows adoption and homing of these extraordinary creatures. This book is dedicated to the volunteers of this awesome program.I almost instantly knew that I would give this book a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. It is impeccably edited, and I had to search to find any errors. I look forward to reading more books by this gifted author." - onlineBookClub.org.... Billy Bartell has languished in a Montana prison cell ten years into a life sentence for a murder committed in 1939 while defending wild mustangs atop Pryor Mountain. Now, at age 27, he has become a seasoned inmate without hope of parole and no means of protecting feral herds still being ravished by man. Recently, Billy’s warden has awarded the veteran horse whisperer ‘Model Prisoner’ status and bestowed the management of the prison’s fledgling ‘horse rescue’ program. This first-of-its-kind prisoner rehabilitation program offers an opportunity to save horses but not enough freedom to stop the mass extermination carried out by Billy’s former nemeses, Captain Leonard Belial. Then, a fateful day arrives when the warden permits Billy to attend a funeral of a mutual friend. Lifers are never gifted such indulgences but the warden makes an exception for his favorite prisoner. Granting Billy a clandestine two-day furlough puts the warden’s job on the line. Once outside prison walls, Billy discovers his ex-lover’s eleven-year-old child, Samantha, is alive and living with the girl’s widowed aunt on an Oregon cattle ranch. The ranch has fallen into receivership and needs an experienced drover to help turn it around. With this news, Billy is torn between returning to prison, thereby fulfilling his promise to the warden, or fleeing to Beaty Butte, Oregon and parenting the little girl. Beaty Butte is one of the last refuges for wild mustangs. Thus, Billy has to make a life altering choice (a left turn or a right turn on a country road), requiring the telling of two parallel stories based on the outcome of each choice. . . .Read the award-winning prequel, THE LAST GOOD HORSE.

After several visits to study Icelandic sagas, Nancy Brown returns to Iceland to search for the perfect Icelandic horse, one she can bring back to her Pennsylvania farm and make her own. To do so, she must become part of the country's tightly knit horse-breeding community, which can be wary of outsiders and extremely protective of the world-famous breed. In this clear-eyed, evocative account set against Iceland's austere and majestic landscape, she describes what makes Icelandic horses and their owners so distinctive. She also discovers her limitations as a horsewoman and learns much about what she is looking for-in a horse and in her life.
