did not know Jean. The young
American was more at home in
the mountains than in a town.
He explored the ancient grant.
He saw great possibilities in the
valley of the Dark River. He made
friends with the only inhabitants
of the region, a thin band of Ute
Indians. He moved there with
his bride.

built a mansion overlooking the

peror. Even as he built up his
own fortune, he dealt fairly with
the cowboys, Mexicans and In
dians. No one ever went hungry,
and no visitor failed to find hos
pitality at the mansion. But
Fasteners were settling the West
in an overwhelming surge: the
railroad was creeping toward the
Pacific. The '70s brought panic
and crashing prices. Jean had
overextended the financial struc-
ture of his domain; he couldn't
meet his notes. He must sell out.
And Maj. Arnold Blore, repre-
senting a Denver syndicate, was
waiting to buy.
In addition to Jean, three other
men loom large in the story. The
life of each is explored adequately.
Blore came from Virginia and
had fought for the Confederacy.
He was an able man, but he had a
dubious, connniving streak wholly
absent from his predecessor in the
mansion. There was Clay Tighe,
one of the fabulous peace officers
of the early West. whose mere
presence could quell a riot. He
left Dodge City at the urging of
Blore to establish "law and order

iel Laird, jeans storekeeper and
general overseer-a hymn signing,
preaching mountaineer from Ten
nessee. He was for the settlers,
and so he was no longer welcome
when Blore took over, but the
powerful Tennessean wouldn't be
run out.
Each of these four is a strong
man in his way. Jean Ballard is
the most remarkable. Indeed, the
first part Of the book. which tells
his story, is the most memorable.
And yet the whole narrative is alb
Sorbing. In it we see the transit
ton of the West from a country
whose natural resources furnished
men with a living and with such
wealth as they had. where pelts
and horses and cattle were worth
more than gold. We see it chang
ing into the intricate financial
structure which prevailed in the
East, into a new realm where
money was everything. And we
see the character of men and
their way of life changing, too.
The magnif1cence of that New
Mexican country is pictured along
with its people.
