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.

Mountain Man

Not Jack Schaefer's best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2013

Much as I hate to disagree with most of the other reviewers, I found it quite difficult to enjoy this book. There is undoubtedly a great western hidden in there somewhere, but the episodic presentation and the over-wordy approach smothers the characters whom you never really get to know.
I am a fan of the western genre and would put Schaefer's "Shane" and "The Canyon" in my top twenty, but "Monte Walsh" just didn't do it for me.

An excellent book about a cowboy at the end of the cowboy era.

Good Western Though More a Collection of Vignettes than a Novel

Reviewed in the United States on 15 December 2018

I wish I could say I like this book more than I do. I gave the book 3-stars... but it's more like a 3.5-star book. The writing is outstanding. There's no doubt about that. It's one of the best-written westerns I've read. Very similar in style to A. B. Guthrie, Jr.

I just have issues with the story. The book itself is really a collection of short stories rather than a typical novel. There's some cohesion from chapter to chapter. And story elements occur roughly in chronological order. But I found the book has a disjointed feel to it. You could almost read the chapters in any order and it would make little difference.

You will also get your fill of horses: horse riding, horse breaking, horse wrangling, horse describing. Yes, Monte Walsh is, himself, a horseman. And, yes, "Monte Walsh" is a western. But Schaefer takes the horse discussion to extremes. There's way more discussion of and about horses in "Monte Walsh" than is usually encountered in a western. For me, this got a little tiresome especially as the author gives short shrift in describing the beauty of the American southwest.

Then there's Monte Walsh. Throughout the story, people comment on how Monte is how Monte is. That he never changes. This is true. Unlike most people in the novel, Monte Walsh shows no growth at all. He's strong and fearless but he's also a giant ass. I had hoped for something more in my main character than an overgrown teenager who's able to endure significant hardships. Chet, Hat, Dobe and others all grow as humans. Not Monte. That he seemed unwilling to grow irked me.

So if you're a fan of westerns as I am, "Monte Walsh" is a must read. As a novel, the writing is superb. Just don't expect to come away in awe of Monte Walsh the character. Recommended.
