{"product_id":"mavericks-9780826358592","title":"Mavericks","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Old Jake Hanlon sits on the edge of the mesa and looks out over miles of southwestern plain,\" starts Jack Schaefer's all-ages novel \u003cem\u003eMavericks\u003c\/em\u003e. Old Jake Hanlon is \"ancient and craglike, weathered and withered . . . something like a worn rocky butte himself.\" Living in his memories, Hanlon prefers to reflect on his youth, when he lived every cowboy's dream, rather than think about the old man he has become, now labeled \"a decrepit old nuisance\" by the folks in town. Ultimately, it is Old Jake's recollection of the tales of his past--stories of endurance, strength, compassion, and cunning--that helps prepare him for death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Schaefer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of New Mexico Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.40w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826358592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchaefer, Jack:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eJack Schaefer\u003c\/strong\u003e was a journalist and writer known for his authentic and memorable characters set in the American West.
