Tom Buck is a cattle drover bringing a herd of longhorn steers from Texas to Abilene, Kansas. Along the way he has his first encounter with a Big Foot. Tom Buck kills a man in Abilene, is tried and released. Come spring he and a couple of his compadres head up into the Colorado Rockies to catch a Sasquatch to sell to Buffalo Bill for his Wild West circus. Indians, mountain men, retired whores, and horses all play a part in Tom's story. His hunt for the mythological Big Foot brings him face to face with the incomprehensible. This book is forty chapters of rollicking good storytelling in the Western vein, with a twist, or several, and a surprise ending that will have you reconsidering the origins of Big Foot, Sasquatch, or the Yeti.
