Death In The Tallgrass: A Young Man's Journey Through The Western Frontier
Death In The Tallgrass: A Young Man's Journey Through The Western Frontier
"This is a beautiful, smart, engaging, enraging book. It is gentle and thoughtful and fierce. The characters and their relationships with each other are extraordinarily well-drawn. The various settings are vivid. These were real people in real places living real lives." Pamela S., Editor Death in the Tallgrass follows a young man in 1904 as he searches for his mother's brother, kidnapped by Comanche warriors thirty-four years before. Crossing the rugged prairies and canyons of New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma, Harry Bonner is confronted by land, people, and cultures that challenge his upbringing as a privileged child of a wealthy family. He battles Comanche magic, puzzles his way through dreams of his uncle fighting against his enemies, and suffers the brutality of men terrorizing the Texas countryside, all while being consumed by a new-found love in the unlikeliest of people. When that love is taken from him, Harry explodes with violence and rage, betraying the personal values he has always respected. He is emotionally adrift on the prairie when he is called to witness the last episode of his uncle's life. "...an excellent, gripping novel and I thoroughly enjoyed it." Avner L., Editor
