Excerpt from Furnishings at Faraway: Historic Furnishings Report; Faraway Ranch Chiricahua National Monument, Arizona Chiricahua National Monument, and the role of the Civilian Conserva tion Corps in the development of the system of roads and trails throughout the monument. Publication of a self-guiding trail guide is proposed for the main house interior, Neil's Den, aunt other outbuildings associated with the ranch. Personal service interpretive presentations will be regularly scheduled during the busy spring and summer season; a minimum of two to three presentations should be made throughout the day. The self-guiding trail guide is intended to supplement this effort, providing opportunity for personnel to rove throughout the main house, especially the lower story, and the grounds of the historic district to monitor visitor activities, provide for security, and answer visitor questions. Interpretive personnel will need to be present whenever Faraway is open. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The history of Faraway Ranch and the Erickson-Riggs family is a rich and complex story. However, if viewed simplistically as we often have, the Faraway Ranch story is one more tale of Western settlement. Two Swedidh immigrants, one a soldier and the other an officer's family servant, meet at a frontier military post, fall in love and decide to homestead along the banks of Bonita Creek in the Chiricahua Mountains.... (from the introduction).

“An extraordinary collection” (San Francisco Chronicle) of twenty-four short stories from Nobel Prize–winning author Alice Munro. “Superb . . . Munro is a writer to be cherished.”—NPR A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Minneapolis Star Tribune A selection of Alice Munro’s most accomplished and powerfully affecting short fiction from 1995 to 2014, these stories encompass the fullness of human experience, from the wild exhilaration of first love (in “Passion”) to the punishing consequences of leaving home (“Runaway”) or ending a marriage (“The Children Stay”). And in stories that Munro has described as “closer to the truth than usual”—“Dear Life,” “Working for a Living,” and “Home”—we glimpse the author’s own life. Subtly honed with her hallmark precision, grace, and compassion, these stories illuminate the quotidian yet astonishing particularities in the lives of men and women, parents and children, friends and lovers as they discover sex, fall in love, part, quarrel, suffer defeat, set off into the unknown, or find a way to be in the world.
