A soldier comes home to find his parents displaced and their property stolen in this classic novel of the West from “a great writer” (The New Yorker). Battered and haunted by the Great War, Clifton Forrest sails from France yearning to see Cottonwoods once again—the rambling ranch house in New Mexico surrounded by tall trees and a rocky stream. But when he finally gets there, he learns that his refuge has been stolen and his parents cast out of their home. With the area under the firm control of his old acquaintance Lundeen, Forrest must fight both his enemy and his ailing body to regain the right to a peaceful life on this patch of land. The Shepherd of Guadaloupe tells of his heroic journey as he battles Lundeen while juggling his love for his parents—and the love of Lundeen’s daughter, Virginia . . . “A champion of the American wilderness and the men and women who tamed the Old West.” —Booklist “In a changing world it is comforting . . . and entertaining to spend a little while in the company of Zane Grey.” —The New York Times
