The Canyon (1968) - Plot & Excerpts

This novella belonged to my grandfather who died fifty years ago. I just discovered Jack Schaefer in a recently read anthology of Western writers. This is a beautifully written tale, told very simply in a style that resembles a song or fable. It has an environmental message highly relevant to our own time and a strong message too about the fragility and importance of our family/tribal cultures and beliefs.There were three other short stories in the crumbling paperback edition I read (priced in old British money at 2/6 (12.5p)), these were thoroughly enjoyable too - all very well written. Smashing!
