Rich with quirky characters and hair-raising experiences, Mountain Men will evoke memories of a more innocent time in New Zealand and remind many readers of their roots. It is hard not to be taken in by each man's devotion to his land, his horse, his dog; there is something raw and strong about it. Stunning portrait profiles and landscapes captured by John Bougen complete this magnificent package."--Publisher ER -
