Galvin describes the seasons, the weather, the wildlife, and the few people who do not possess but are themselves possessed by this terrain. In so doing he reveals an experience that is part of our heritage and mythology. For Lyle, Ray, Clara, and App, the struggle to survive on an independent family ranch is a series of blameless failures and unacclaimed successes that illuminate the Western character. \u003ci\u003eThe Meadow\u003c\/i\u003e evokes a sense of place that can be achieved only by someone who knows it intimately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Galvin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Holt Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805027037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/26\/2002 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaised in northern Colorado, \u003cb\u003eJames Galvin\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of three volumes of poetry and a novel, \u003ci\u003eFencing the Sky\u003c\/i\u003e.
