It was the Fourth of July in 1919. Three months later he owned eight teams of horses and rigs to go with them. Everyone who worked with him shared in the prosperity-the widow whose wheat crop was saved and the group of misfits who formed a first-rate harvesting crew. But sometimes fickle Mother Nature and frail human nature made sure that nothing was easy. The tension between opposing forces never lets up in this book. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Without preaching, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dry Divide\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e warmly illustrates the old-time virtues of hard work, ingenuity, and respect for others.
