Where Poor Men are Rich

The ranchers of the far west struggle against many odds. “Over-worked and under-paid” is not a cliché in these parts—it is the life they love. Tonight, many people in high society will dine in the finest restaurants, among lights of the big city, oblivious to men such as these. But they will never know what it feels like to be bone tired, coming home from a hard but successful hunt. They will not know the pleasure of a good elk steak with fried spuds and onions, washed down with ice cold milk and sitting before the fireplace with a big slice of Ma’s homemade huckleberry pie. It’s at times like this that poor men realize they are truly rich.
