Synopsis

The last natural cowboy and the last natural Grizzly duel in the wilderness of Yellowstone — both of them hungry for a death with meaning.

Gib is the story of the passing of a generation of men who suffered the Great Depression, fought in WWII and Korea, then lived to mourn the greatest threat yet to their way of life - the gentrification of the West. It is also the story of a ranching family's struggle to save the home ranch, and their share of the threatened ranching culture.

“Jon Horton is a Wyoming treasure and he has given us another Western gem. In GIB he has managed to fashion a piece that reflects the unadorned but beautifully elusive quality of life in the real west. If you are new to the land, this will help you to understand it. If you were born here, you will know this as the real thing…pure gold! —W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear, Author of People of the Mask

" GIB was wrought with the sure hand of a writer who knows the real west and the passion of a man who loves it." —Win Blevins, Winner Western Writers of American Spur Award for Stone Song.

About this title

About the Author

Jon R Horton aka J Royal Horton was one of those kids who read under the covers by flashlight and hoped to be a writer some day. He spent one year as an honors student in English at the University of Wyoming before joining the Air Force, where he was a Russian linguist and intelligence analyst. With his GI Bill, he earned a B.A. in Russian Language and Literature from California State University at Northridge. Years later, he entered the D.A. program at Idaho State University as an English major. But the academic gender wars inspired a career move into the international oil exploration business as a Helicopter Operations Safety and Security Supervisor, specializing in remote operations. After retiring he began to write in earnest, and self-published five novels, all five-starred on Amazon. He was last published in the premier issue of the British literary magazine "Ronin".
