Big Hole River: Rugged Tales of the Wild West - Paperback

by Peter Schutes (Author)

Three Tales woven together by a handsome youth, a beautiful valley, and hard, towering columns.

Buck Private is the story of strapping Wyoming lad Buck Hartigan, who enlists in the Army, where he discovers his true nature. Peter has hinted that Buck is his ideal mate, perhaps his ideal self. Buck's proportions are enticing but not overbearing, which Peter often yearned for in himself and a mate.

The Anaconda Copper tells the tale of a Montana Sheriff whose legendary member earned him the nickname "Stack" in honor of the giant smokestack that looms over the town. Stack meets Buck, who is on his way to a ranch in the Big Hole River Valley but finds his perfect mate in a man he'd often admired but never knew was like him.

Bunkhouse Buddies has the honor of being Peter Schutes's first novel, penned in the late 1950s while living on a ranch in Montana. Buck arrives at the Cock's Crow Ranch, where he discovers he is not the only big boy who enjoys the pleasures of gay sex.
