- Synopsis
- &“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 Mavericks. 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.
