| Publisher Description: Bucking the Sun is the story of the Duff family, homesteaders driven from the Montana bottomland to work on one of the New Deal's most audacious projects--the damming of the Missouri River. Through the story of each family member--a wrathful father, a mettlesome mother, and three very different sons, and the memorable women they marry--Doig conveys a sense of time and place that is at once epic in scope and rich in detail. |
