English Creek by Ivan Doig

In the days of arriving summer, on a rangeland green across northern Montana, Jick McCaskill comes of age late in the Depression. Jick is 14, able now to claim a man's place in the life of family, town and ranch.
His father is a roustabout turned forest ranger, his mother, practical and peppery mate. His brother Alec, his idol, is 18, set on marriage and life as a cowboy. Alec's choices throw the McCaskills into conflict, and through Jicks' eyes we see a family at a turning point -- "where all four of our lives made their bend."

Adapted from the first story in Ivan Doig's Montana trilogy, this tape introduces Jick McCaskill and captures the look and mood of Montana ranch country in the years between the Depression and WW II.
