No one today, and not many of the old timers back then, knew Mogollon, New Mexico, as well as H.A. Hoover. His reminiscences begin in 1904, continue through the boom days, and he was still there, keeping a diary, in the 1950's when they started to call Mogollon a "ghost town." The Bloated Goat Saloon was where the old timers gathered and here are some of the best stories they told -- tales of Indians and desperados, mountain lions and mountain men Ben Lilly, the Mogollon Mountains, 24-horse teams, and home life in a unique frontier town.

When Harley Simmons, a "latter-day mountain man, river rat, and desert scoundrel," returns from the wilderness to the town of Del Cobre he finds his life in siege. His father, a legendary wilderness hunter, is dead; his wife will have nothing to do with him; his son is protected from him by the courts; and sunbelt boosters are closing in on New Mexico's last wild river, threatening to cut deep into his wilderness home. In his attempts to accommodate civilization with his own wild yearnings, Harley learns to pay dearly. Ultimately, a creature even more wild provides some clues for resolution. A Romance of the modern West, imbued with realism, horses, hounds, wolves and women, "Home is the River" transcends the Western genre to reveal life as it is on today's frontier.

Since its first limited American printing in 1928, Recollections of a Western Ranchman has been largely unavailable and, even when found, affordable only by collectors. Herein is Captain French's original volume in a reader's edition, the story of a man who lived through the wildest years of the New Mexico/Arizona border country to leave us a frontier memoir with a human voice. In the midst of the final astonishing stand of Geronimo and his renegades, French displays a perceptive and balanced admiration for both the soldiers and the Apache tribe. At the siege of Elfego Baca, the author deftly delineates the hero from the bullies. When the outlaw Black Jack steals his horses, the Captain delightedly steals them back. And nobody has written better of Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch than French. Finally, his descriptions of ranch life and the Southwest wilderness are those of a natural reconteur who still held to the facts. Never the hero, though often heroic, French saw it all, with balance, perception, and a droll British wit.
