Dannie Macnoun and Jimmy Malone are the best of friends, living and working side by side by the banks of the Wabash, plowing the fields in summer and trapping rats in the winter, rivals in their quest to hook the Black Bass from the local stream. They tend their farms and trap lines together as neighbors, and yet as rivals ... for they both love the same woman, married to one of the men, but has always been in love with the other. Yet this is not a sordid story ... for the single man loves the other man as a dear friend, and would not do anything to hurt his friend. A story of friendship, rivalry, guilt, and finally, forgiveness and love. A clean very presentable copy.
