Wild Freedom 

Wild Freedom by Max Brand is two stories about a father and son who go traveling, only for the father to become lost and an outlaw running from two sheriffs. Excerpt: ‘No seasoned mountaineer would have tried to cross the mountain range encumbered as John Parks was, and with the cloud, streamers blown out stiff from the summits and snapping off little fleecy bits which the wind hurried across the sky. Even in the lowlands, the norther had spread an arctic chill, and the bald heights must be insufferably cold.’
