Tony and the cows Book

Tony and the Cows is a story of friendship between two men, but it is also the story of intrigue and mystery laced with violence. The book examines what it means to live responsibly in a world where no one can avoid compromise with technology. In July of 1995, ten weeks after the Oklahoma City bombing, novelist Will Baker participated as a journalist in the annual gathering of Earth Firsters on the Trinity River in Northern California. He drank and smoked with them, listened to their poetry, attended seminars and workshops, was suspected of being an FBI plant, and hugged and serenaded. It was there that Baker met Tony, who, in the few months that remained in his life, led Baker to reconsider all his attitudes toward the natural world and our place in it.
