520 8  In the 1870s, Will Andrews, a young man from a proper 
       eastern family drops out of Harvard to go west. 
       Intoxicated by the heady fumes of Emersonian 
       transcendentalism, he seeks that original relation to 
       Nature celebrated by the sage of Concord. He knows he is 
       not going to find it in college. Andrews washes up in 
       Butcher's Crossing, a small Kansas town that is, as its 
       name suggests, nothing more than somewhere between here 
       and there. In other words, nowhere. Butcher's Crossing is 
       full of restless men looking for a way to make money or a 
       way to waste it, and before long Andrews strikes up a 
       friendship with one of them. He regales Andrews with tales
       of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden 
       away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies, 
       and he convinces him to join in an expedition to track the
       animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end 
       is a place of paradisal richness. Once there, however, the
       three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so 
       caught up in killing the buffalo that they lose all sense 
       of time. Then winter overtakes them: they are snowed in. 
       Next spring, half-insane with cabin fever, cold, and 
       hunger, they stagger back to Butcher's Crossing, to find a
       world as irremediably changed as they have been. John 
       Williams's fiercely intelligent, beautifully written 
       Western is a harrowing confrontation with the American 
       dream
