Bows on The String

Thoreau had Walden Pond. Luke Frazier has String Lake. He goes to this jewel of the Grand Tetons when he’s in a contemplative mood — or itching to fish for rainbow trout (thus the title "Bows on the String"). We find Luke’s style reminiscent of Winslow Homer: the sense of natural light, the idyllic moment and dare we say it? — that hat, which looks like it was whisked off the head of one of the farmer boys in "Snap the Whip."
