York’s Ride
A Novel of Old California
MICHAEL DENNIS CASSITY
In 1914, most of the world is focused on The Great War, but a much quieter story is taking place in a remote mountain region in northern California and western Nevada with the tale of two twelve-year-old boys and a legendary, wild horse from the desert. The stallion, Meshuga, is so strong that he becomes a mythical, inspirational fable. A romantic novel of the Old West imbued with rich historical details, York’s Ride is a complex and beautiful tale about family relationships and coming of age in early twentieth-century California.
