Cloyd is thrilled when Walter proposes that the two of them go up into the mountains together to reopen the old man's gold mine, The Pride of the West. deliberately killing the peach trees that Walter's late wife loved in an irrational fit of temper; almost killing the horse out of stupidity, leading to a fall that it survives uninjured only through sheer luck; and then somehow annoying me more when he refuses to rat out the bear poacher because ~revenge is bad~ or something, which is ridiculous because the peach tree destruction was Cloyd deciding all on his own that Walter had wronged him without bothering to mention the issue to Walter at all.

This quote was at such perfect timing in the book, and Cloyd deffinately deserved that, after everything that he did for walter.

Thanks for taking the time to provide us this feedback, however I'm really sorry that you were left feeling so disappointed by your recent visit.The old ones point with their lips because pointing is rude, and they look away when they talk or are spoken to. The pancakes that they do for pancake day are also worth a trip just to have them on shrove Tuesday. I also highly recommend the selection of cakes, particularly the luscious Victoria sponge / the divine morello cherry blondie. I have put a review on Google with no response - all I want is acknowledgment of this disaster but nearly 2 weeks later nothing !

Walter asked what the letter from Cloyd’s sister was about and Cloyd was embarrassed at not being able to read. The author is not Native himself, but I read that he based the character Cloyd on someone he knew (and I believe Cloyd's housemother is loosely based on the author's wife).

He realized he was overworking Cloyd again and told a lie that he didn’t believe there was gold in this vein and that Cloyd could go into the mountains now. There’s a decent selection of drinks and although the menu not huge there’s more than enough to choose from.
