"Sam Bonner is on a journey. It is the Bicentennial Summer of 1976, and the country is very different from when Sam was younger. He and his young wife, Sara, are traveling through the Southwest, visiting the sights that Sam himself immortalized as one of Hollywood's premier directors of a genre of film that captured a generation of viewers, the Western. There was a day when Sam ruled the industry, and death was but a far-off rumor."--Jacket.
