THE state of Colorado, its rolling plains barricaded by the Continental Divide and a jumble of Rocky Mountains of matchless height, width, and majesty, began to take shape when Napoleon doubled the size of the infant United States by selling to it everything he owned west of the Mississippi at a price of four cents an acre.

Leadville was the wildest boomtown in the West and Quint Vining and his brothers meant to keep it that way. Ruthless, untouchable, they murdered as they pleased, and bought their own acquittal. But they couldn't buy gambler Cape Wallace. A steel-nerved loner, he challenged the Vinings to war. It was the gamble of his life, and the odds said Cape was playing his last hand.

"A woman and her young son are traveling together by car through the southern and mid-western United States in the mid-to-late 1950s. As the mother drives, she and the boy, Roy, talk about their lives, their disappointments, and their dreams. "Wyoming" exists as a state of mind rather than an actual place, a place neither the boy nor his mother have ever been, an idyll where the two of them can live an untroubled life. Told entirely in dialogue, the story of Roy and his mother traverses both real and imaginary states of being, on a tour through an uncertain but hopeful landscape of longing and myth. As Roy's mother tells him, "Everybody needs Wyoming.""--BOOK JACKET.
