| Summary |
Lawrence Allestad and family were among the last of the traditional sheepherders of the American West. Under a public grazing permit that had been handed down in his Norwegian-American family for generations, Allestad was the final rancher to drive his herds into Montana's rugged Absaroka-Beartooth range north of Yellowstone to fatten on sweet summer grass. The family members and their hired hands conducted the drives much as their pioneer forebears had-on horseback, with dogs for herding and guarding, and armed with rifles to frighten away bears and wolves. Over the years, better gear-walkie-talkies, four-wheelers and cell phones-took some of the edges off a hard life, but still the work remained exhausting and dangerous for both men and animals. |
