Book 5

Now in their late sixties, Jim and Lucy Thornhill stand on the precipice of The Great Depression—the use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without decade.

From Montana to Arizona, the past stretches behind them like a long shadow. Certain they are living the good life, the old stockman and his Tough ride the wilds of Arizona’s mountain country, believing they are the last of the truly free souls.

When morning turns to night for the Thornhill family, voices from the past point the way forward. But can Jim lead his sons like the giant he’s always been while living up to his own concepts and maintaining his dignity? Can the indomitable Lucy philosophize away the mounting losses and persevere?

Trotting on Air, Book Five in the historical series Of Men and Horses brings the Thornhills face to face with the great mystery of life. As their son, Man Thornhill, so aptly put it, “None a us knows diddly squat ’bout livin’ and dyin’.”
