Reading the West Book Award Short List
Twenty Miles of Fence recounts a decade of transformation when Bob West, a westerner at heart, decided to escape the pretense of his unfulfilling architectural life and to become, quite simply, a cowboy. A cowboy?
That old cliché about biting off more than you can chew fittingly describes the lessons learned when West and his family bought the Devils Washtub Ranch in Wyoming. Already owning two horses, housed in a stylish stable on five acres near the yuppie haven of Boulder, Colorado, West soon discovered that ownership of two horses does not equal twenty miles of fence, 3,200 deeded acres, 400 BLM acres, 154 head of black angus, two and a half miles of the North Laramie Riverand what would become for him the very best of times. Little did West know how those years would test him, inspire him, and lead him back to his true character. See more
