The Wyoming Territory in is changing rapidly. Civilization is encroaching on what once was wide open land, and no one is feeling the strain more than the cowboy. With corporations buying up land, the Union Pacific Railroad changing how goods are transported, and ranchers fencing in their cattle with barbed wire, the job of the cowboy is nearly obsolete. One of those cowboys, now at the crossroads of the past and the future is Monte Walsh, who, though getting on in years, can still ride with the best of them.
When they can get work, he and his good friend Chet Rollins take whatever ranch work they can find, and live for months at a stretch out on the range, and occasionally wander into town. But Shorty is trouble. Meanwhile, jobs affording Monte and Chet the freedom of the open range are even scarcer.
When Chet falls in love with Mary Wilder, a widow who owns a hardware store, he makes a life-changing decision. Goofs When Fighting Joe rides his horse off the cliff, the horse jumps into mid-air. No horse would consent to this. They have brains and they make judgments. The horse would make every effort to stop and not go over the cliff.

Top review. Great, realistic rendition of the cowboy lifestyle. While not packed with shoot-em-up action like lots of Westerns, this film really depicts what a 19th Century cowboy's life was like--lots of boredom, bad food, foul weather, and little comforts. But the freedom they enjoyed is also emphasized and the plot line is believable and honest. The prostitute character is a little thin and more along the line of the usual "whore with a heart of gold" character, but her affection for Monte is genuine and touching.
The supporting cast of cowboys accurately portray the life of a real cowboy better than most movies of this genre. The scenery is magnificent Wyoming Territory and the cast does a credible job of giving accurate performances. It celebrates the "wild west" more like it really was than many of the usual Westerns and I would recommend it unless you want nothing but action.
