Conference attendees represented several tribes, law schools and regions, some from as far away as Alaska, New Mexico and Montana...
...novel, whose aimlessness raises thoughts of old ranch buildings fallen to ruin. His hero, Joe Starling, is a brilliant painter who no longer paints (hello there, Papa H.). Becalmed, then stirred by the faintest of internal winds, he returns from the staleness of the East Coast to Montana, where he has inherited a cattle spread. Here the author novelizes industriously, with small effect.

To allow 2,400 people (including a handful of real cowboys), 200 wagons and 2,800 cattle to plod 50 miles and six days from Roundup to Billings, U.S. Highway 87 had to be closed for two days. Saturday mail service to 15,000 Billings residents was canceled in anticipation of the drive...
