A good read. From the back cover:
A timeless story by the author of "Shane", "Old Ramon" centers on a wise older shepherd, a young boy, and two brave dogs. Ramon teaches the son of his patron how to care for a herd in the harsh terrain of the Mojave desert. The boy learns about sheep and sandstorms, rattlesnakes and wolves; he also learns about friendship and loss, bravery and cool-headed wisdom. Set in the Old West, where the cultures of Mexico and Southern California converge, "Old Ramon" offers both a journey back to the adventures of the past and a unversal story of growing up.
