Bo Mason, his wife, Elsa, and their two boys live a transient life of poverty and despair.
Drifting from town to town and from state to state, the violent, ruthless Bo seeks out his fortune--in the hotel business, on new farmland, and, eventually, in illegal rum-running through the treacherous back roads of the American Northwest.
Bo chases after the promise of the American dream through Minnesota, the Dakotas, Saskatchewan, Montana, Utah and Nevada, but ultimately there is no escaping the devastating reach of the Depression and his own ruinous fate.
In this affecting narrative, Wallace Stegner portrays more than three decades in the life of the Mason family as they struggle to survive during the lean years of the early twentieth century.
With an introduction by Robert Stone.
