"T" is travels

Annie Proulx describes Jack's and Ennis's travels through the unpaved back-country miles of Wyoming:

Years on years they worked their way through the high meadows and mountain drainages, horse-packing into the Big Horns, Medicine Bows, south end of the Gallatins, Absarokas, Granites, Owl Creeks, the Bridger-Teton Range, the Freezeouts and the Shirleys, Ferrises and the Rattlesnakes, Salt River Range, into the Wind Rivers over and again, the Sierra Madres, Gros Ventres, the Washakies, Laramies, but never returning to Brokeback.

"A" is attraction

Lureen's physical attraction to Jack began at a Childress rodeo in August of 1966 when he retrieved her hat and she noticed "his thick, dark hair, his appealing face, and his sturdy body."

As of his divorce on November 6, 1975, Ennis was no longer the official breadwinner for his family, although he was required to pay monthly child support.
