Buttes Landing

THEY CALLED IT BUTTES LANDING...

It was their land. They fought for it. They worked for it. They even died for it.

Here is their story - a sweeping novel of men and women and the land that shaped them. The saga of three generations of mountain farmers and the challenges they met in an untamed wilderness.

First there was Odder, the Buttes family patriarch. He trekked east at the start of the nineteenth century, while everyone else was going west. He found the land.

Then there was Emily, Odder's wife. She taught him the land and how to keep it.

There was Guthrie, Odder's son. He loved his father's land, but he loved his Indian wife more.

And finally there was Cobus, Odder's grandson. A lusty, headstrong young man who left the land only to find he belonged to it and needed it.
