Shane Paperback - 2014
by Jack Schaefer; Wendell Minor (Illustrator); Introduction by Roland Smith
Shane, a stranger the Starretts take in to their home in Wyoming in 1889, becomes involved in a feud between the cattle ranger and the local homesteaders.
Summary
I had lain in my bed thinking of our visitor out in the bunk in the barn. It scarce seemed possible that he was the same man I had first seen, stern and chilling in his dark solitude, riding up our road. Something in father, something not of words or of actions but of the essential substance of the human spirit, had reached out and spoken to him and he had replied to it and had unlocked a part of himself to us. He was far off and unapproachable at times even when he was right there with you. The Starrett family’s life forever changes when a man named Shane rides out of the great glowing West and up to their farm in 1889. Young Bob Starrett is entranced by this stoic stranger who brings a new energy to his family. Shane stays on as a farmhand, but his past remains a mystery. Many folks in their small Wyoming valley are suspicious of Shane, and make it known that he is not welcome. But dangerous as Shane may seem, he is a staunch friend to the Starretts—and when a powerful neighboring rancher tries to drive them out of their homestead, Shane becomes entangled in the deadly feud. This classic Western, originally published in 1949, is a profoundly moving story of the influence of a singular character on one boy’s life.

Media reviews
"If you read only one western in your life, this is the one."—Roland Smith, author of Peak "Shane is a work of literature first and a Western second."—St. George Daily Spectrum "A real superiority here."—Kirkus Reviews "Its pace is steady. Its tension is of the uncoiling spring variety. It’s as clean as a hound's tooth."—Saturday Review of Literature "The author has created a tale which captivates the reader’s attention from beginning to end. His skill in depicting a character, a situation, or a mood, with a minimum of words, gives the story a tightly-woven quality. . . . The book almost demands completion in one sitting."—Library Journal
