The Model T and the Lazy Boar, Joe Back's last book, is a fictional accound based on his days as a freighter in Wyoming during the 1920's. Trucks had taken over the hauling jobs on the highways, but Joe worked on a ranch north of Douglas, which lacked paved roads, bridges, and even culverts. His tale covers encounters with stolen horses, skunks, a crazy sheepherder, accidents, and colorful characters- all described in the perceptive, humorous style that his readers over the years have come to expect from him.
