Western
Ranchers, Richard and Seth Barrett, are devoted to running
the family ranch on Nebraska's Platte River. It is their
intent to keep doing so the rest of their lives; however,
the terms of their mother's will requires them to travel by
horse and canoe along the Platte River, to understand why
their maternal grandfather homesteaded the ranch three
generations earlier. From the grave, she commands them to observe industrial
farming's harm to the land, air, and water. A 90-old
bachelor farmer, with a game plan of his own, butts in and
threatens to disrupt and delay the will's mandatory
expedition. Using a gullible hometown sheriff and a corrupt
local politician, a conniving, wealthy neighbor, seeking to
seize the property, thwarts their struggle to keep their
ranch and meet the will's terms. The Platte River, A mile wide and an inch deep, becomes its
own character in this turbulent novel and lives up to its
legend as being too thick to drink and too thin to plow.
