Literature
S.H. McGarry, Honoring The Western Tradition: The L.D. "Brink" Brinkman Collection, Kerrville, Texas, 2003, p. 100, illustrated.
James Erwin Boren once remarked to L.D. Brinkman about the present work, "The cowboy's life in the High Country is a lonely one as far as social amenities are concerned, during the summer months. They take their cattle up in the high mountains where the grazing is good. They don't see many friends but when they do, they always have time to stop and catch up on the news. This painting shows the beauty of the mountains and the comadarie [sic] that exists among friends."1
