In this ambitious, incandescent debut, Malcolm Brooks animates that time and untamed landscape in a tale of the modern and the ancient, of love and fate, and of heritage threatened by progress. Catherine Lemay is a young archaeologist on her way to Montana with a huge task before her--a canyon "as deep as the devil's own appetites." Working ahead of a major dam project, she has one summer to prove that nothing of historical value will be lost in the flood. From the moment she arrives, nothing is familiar--the vastness of the canyon itself mocks the contained, artifact-rich digs in post-Blitz London where she cut her teeth. And then there's John H, a former mustanger and veteran of the US Army's last mounted cavalry campaign, living a fugitive life in the canyon. John H inspires Catherine to see beauty in the stark landscape, and her heart opens to more than just the vanished past.-- $c (Source of description not identified) 650 0 $a Women archaeologists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Horsemen and horsewomen $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen fifties $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books 651 0 $a Montana $v Fiction. 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722044900.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720043821.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20180117075942.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202090354.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3C49A15CD8FE11E4BC6E09BDDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
