Publisher's summary

A classic about the American West and the life and times of one tough cowboy, Monte Walsh. Partial to pretty women, gambling, and practical jokes, Monte doesn't have to look far to find trouble. Luckily for him, Monte's best friend, Chet, is always there to post bail or quickly get Monte out of town. As Monte grows older, though, and the West inevitably changes, he resists changing with it, and shows his dedication and loyalty to the cowboy way of life.

The popular 1970 film starring Lee Havin and Jack Palance is loosely based on this moving story by Jack Schaefer.

Dreamscape is proud to present Monte Walsh, a classic American western not to be missed.

I love this story

I found this audiobook years ago and it is by far one of my all time favorites! I've listened to it a dozen times and for me it never gets old. it's a well written story and the narration is perfect giving each character their own voice and helps immerse you into the story and helps you feel like your right there Watchung the story...like you're a part of the /Y if you like westerns and the thought of the old west and cowboy way of life you will definitely enjoy this.

Rules to live by

Inspiring, Monty represents the person we should all stress to be. Times gone by, but it doesn’t take an era to define the fact that everyone has the opportunity to be a humanitarian

it's a horse, ain't it?

Growing old and becoming irrelevant, I can relate. Good story, better than the movie.
