Of West

Myron Brings new book, "The

BRING loves this country and
laments the passing Of what he
calls "the wild untrammeled
West" which harbored the valiant
souls Of our forefatherS.
He sees and writes with an al.
most tragic intensity and he
draws a somber picture, pulling
his characters deeper into the
mire Of industry in order to L.
lustrate the sordid quest for COM
mercial gain.
At times he is anything but
uplifting, and yet for all that, the
man is too compelling a story.

so much as to see how Mr.. BRING

therefore, that anyone who writes
so well, would do better to turn
