Excerpt from Louisiana Lou: A Western StoryHE sun was westering over Ike Brandon's ranch at Twin Forks. It was the first year of a new century when the old order was giving place to the new. Yet there was little to Show the change that had already begun to take place in the old West. The desert still stretched away drearily to the south where it ended against the faint, dim line of the Esmeralda Mountains. To the north it stretched again, unpopulated and unmarked until it merged into prairie grass and again into mountains. To west and east it stretched, brown and dusty. T o the south was the State of Nevada and to the north the State of Idaho. But it was all alike, bare, brown rolling plain, with naught of greenness except at the ranch where the creek watered the fields and, stretch ing back to the north, the thread of bushy willows and cottonwoods that lined it from its source in the mountains.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
