A tale of wandering shadows, I would guess, since even the lettering can’t maintain the same shadow distance. By the time you get to that final line of text, the shadows are almost completely separate.
When you can’t even do that right, why would you ever think you could create a pseudo-wagon driver or the brown blob that’s supposed to be a horse or ox or something.
Look! I hollowed out a giant marshmallow and lashed it to my wagon. And I live in it, too! And if I get hungry – I just pinch off a bit and put it between my cheek and gum – like this!

I would tag this cover as historical inaccuracy.
While Monument Valley and Bronson Canyon were favorite Western movie sites, I do believe history tells us wagon train trails were usually planned along routes with water, not through deserts.
And the Cry of the West was “Yippeee!” Joking aside. The novel could be fine, and sell by word of mouth, but the cover could have used more thought.
