Book excerpt: Heart's Desire is a little settlement hidden away in a corner of the West "where men have gone to live at peace--without law and without women." The inhabitants dozed in the sunshine, smoked, drank, gambled a little, toiled fitfully, fought occasionally, and dreamed a good deal. Then the railroad came, and the dreams were gone. Along the railroad came Constance and the old vexations that troubled Eden and have troubled every assemblage of men ever since. It is a picture of rough Western life, with clever character delineations -- Book jacket.

Book excerpt: "It looks a long ways acrost from here to the States," said Curly, as we pulled up our horses at the top of the Capitan divide. We gazed out over a vast, rolling sea of red-brown earth which stretched far beyond and below the nearer foothills, black with their growth of stunted pines. This was a favorite pausing place of all travellers between the county-seat and Heart's Desire; partly because it was a summit reached only after a long climb from either side of the divide; partly, perhaps, because it was a notable view-point in a land full of noble views. Again, it may have been a customary tarrying point because of some vague feeling shared by most travellers who crossed this trail,—the same feeling which made Curly, hardened citizen as he was of the land west of the Pecos, turn a speculative eye eastward across the plains. We could not see even so far as the Pecos, though it seemed from our lofty situation that we looked quite to the ultimate, searching the utter ends of all the earth. "Yours is up that-a-way;" Curly pointed to the northeast. "Mine was that-a-way." He shifted his leg in the saddle as he turned to the right and swept a comprehensive hand toward the east, meaning perhaps Texas, perhaps a series of wild frontiers west of the Lone Star state. I noticed the nice distinction in Curly's tenses. He knew the man more recently arrived west of the Pecos, possibly later to prove a backslider. As for himself, Curly knew that he would never return to his wild East; yet it may have been that he had just a touch of the home feeling which is so hard to lose, even in a homeless country, a man's country pure and simple, as was surely this which now stretched wide about us. Somewhere off to the east, miles and miles beyond the red sea of sand and grama grass, lay Home. "And yet," said Curly, taking up in speech my unspoken thought, "you can't see even halfway to Vegas up there." No. It was a long two hundred miles to Las Vegas, long indeed in a freighting wagon, and long enough even in the saddle and upon as good a horse as each of us now bestrode. I nodded. "And it's some more'n two whoops and a holler to my ole place," said he. Curly remained indefinite; for, though presently he hummed something about the sun and its brightness in his old Kentucky home, he followed it soon thereafter with musical allusion to the Suwanee River. One might have guessed either Kentucky or Georgia in regard to Curly, even had one not suspected Texas from the look of his saddle cinches. It was the day before Christmas. Yet there was little winter in this sweet, thin air up on the Capitan divide. Off to the left the Patos Mountains showed patches of snow, and the top of Carrizo was yet whiter, and even a portion of the highest peak of the Capitans carried a blanket of white; but all the lower levels were red-brown, calm, complete, unchanging, like the whole aspect of this far-away and finished country, whereto had come, long ago, many Spaniards in search of wealth and dreams; and more recently certain Anglo-Saxons, also dreaming, who sought in a stolen hiatus of the continental conquest nothing of more value than a deep and sweet oblivion.

Book excerpt: Emerson Hough's 'Heart's Desire' is an enchanting foray into the mythic expanses of the Old West, where the pastoral meets the dramatic in a narrative ballet. Through careful prose that reflects the linguistic nuances of the time, Hough constructs a vivid tableau of the eponymous town, 'Heart's Desire,' and its emblematic population. The book cunningly deploys the Western genre's conventions to set up an expectation of tranquility. However, as the pristine surface of the town's societal tranquility begins to crack, Hough masterfully allows for an impending tension to predominate the tale, forewarning the reader of an unavoidable unraveling of the town's seemingly serene fabric. As an accomplished author known for his authentic portrayals of the American frontier, Emerson Hough was a chronicler of the complexities embedded within the Western expansion narrative. His literary career, marked by an acute understanding of the era's societal dynamics, adeptly informs the creation of 'Heart's Desire.' The novel is perhaps both reflective of Hough's fascination with the Western odyssey and his critique of the often oversimplified representations of frontier life. The book emerges as an amalgam of the author's rich historical insight and his keen sense of the moral predicaments that beset the pioneers. 'Recommended for aficionados of the Western genre and the historical novel, 'Heart's Desire' promises a journey through an idealized society on the precipice of change. It is a formidable choice for those seeking a nuanced narrative that not only entertains but also incites reflection on the bygone era of the American West. Hough's novel, thus, is a compelling reexamination of the pastoral dream and its inevitable confrontation with the harsher realities of life on the frontier, inviting the reader to ponder the perennial question of whether any utopia can withstand the inexorable march of time and human frailty.
