An author's note gives additional background information. During the Depression, in north central Montana, a sheepherder passed away. The station manager and many townspeople noticed him and slowly discovered the details of his life. The people adopted him, feeding him and loving him, until the day he died. Yardley's watercolor paintings, reminiscent of Susan Jeffers's work, are warm, detailed, and textured. Shep watched the man's coffin being loaded onto a train to be returned to his family back east.
