Into the furnace, on horseback. Chase's companion volume trades the coast for the desert: palm canyons, alkali flats, star-hammered nights, and the strange beauty that grows on you mile by waterless mile. You will discover why desert lovers call this one of the finest books ever written about the arid West, told with dry wit worthy of its subject. Heritage adventure with sand in its boots. Press play and ride into the heat.
