A book analyzing the work of writer Frank Bergon

From critically acclaimed author Frank Bergon comes a new personal narrative about the San Joaquin Valley in California. This intimate companion to Two-Buck Chuck & The Marlboro Man brings us back to an Old West at odds with New West realities where rapid change is a common trait and memories are of rural beauty.

Drawing from his San Joaquin Valley childhood, a career devoted to studying the West, and interviews with a range of ethnically diverse people, Bergen presents an intimate portrait of an Old West in conflict with the New, and traces the way traditional values sometimes clash with and at other times adjust to a changing world.
