NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER

Some thirty years ago Fred Pruett republished Peggy Simson Curry’s novel So Far From Spring, first released in 1956. When his son and retired publisher, Jim Pruett, suggested that it was once again time to introduce this classic Western to a new audience, we enthusiastically agreed. This gripping novel is vivid in its description of the hardships and heartache suffered by cattle ranchers in the North Park region of Colorado at the turn of the twentieth century and of the ties that bind the members of the Cameron family to each other and to the land. For a book first published more than fifty years ago, it is also remarkably frank in its depictions of human sexuality and desire. WestWinds Press^® is proud to bring back into print this remarkable novel, which Peggy Simson Curry regarded as her finest work.

As So Far From Spring is an historic document (Ms. Curry died in 1987), we have decided against making any revisions to the text. However, we do caution that Ms. Curry occasionally use terms for various races or ethnicities common to the era in which the story is set that will regrettably cause offense to some readers, and for that we sincerely apologize.
