Parker Stanley's family had a dream: to start a new life in the Far West. But en route, a Cheyenne band slaughters his parents and abducts his sister. Then cowboy Clay Springer rides to the rescue - and comes up with an idea. He's got a team ready to deliver goods to the Mormons in Utah, but he's short on funds for supplies. He knows that Parker managed to hold on to his family's savings, so he suggests a 50-50 partnership. With a three-wagon, seven-man team, Parker and Clay will traverse the barren land, but out in the wilderness, Parker's sister needs saving - and he has vowed to find her.

Historia
Cowboy stories and movies about the Wild West are full of amazing characters. Yet many of the lawmen we think of as heroes were anything but - some were violent scoundrels and outlaws themselves. Among all the lawmen of the frontier, one man stands out as a true hero: Bass Reeves. In his day, Bass Reeves was the most successful federal marshal in the United States. True to the mythical code of the West, he never drew his gun first. He rounded up hundreds of outlaws and was shot at countless times but was never hit. Bass Reeves was born into slavery.

Only an extraordinary Texas Ranger could have cleaned up bandit-plagued Southwest Texas, between the Nueces River and the Rio Grande, in the years following the Civil War. Thousands of raiders on horseback, some of them Anglo-Americans, regularly crossed the river from Mexico to pillage, murder, and rape. In desperation, the governor of Texas called on an extraordinary man, Captain Leander M. McNelly, to take command of a Ranger company and stop these border bandits. One of McNelly's recruits for this task was George Durham, a Georgia farmboy.

Historia
Not since the publication of his own beloved classic Lonesome Dove has there been a novel like this one, another big, brilliant, unputdownable saga of the West from Larry McMurtry. Telegraph Days is at once a major work of literature and a completely absorbing read, not just great fiction, but fiction on a great scale.

Historia
Pulitzer Prize winner Larry McMurtry crafts works synonymous with the grandeur and beauty of the American West. Here McMurtry turns his attention to George A. Custer, a complex man who has captivated historians for over a century. From graduating last in his class at West Point to leading the ill-fated 7th Cavalry in the attack at Little Bighorn, Custer forged a legacy - still very much alive today - as one of the West's most enduring historical figures.

Historia
Many centuries before the age of Man, as the ancient chroniclers tell, Tabor, the second greatest kingdom on earth, was under siege. The king had died in battle, and the queen had died in childbirth. As the enemy was closing in, the infant heir escaped far away to the tiny hamlet of Streamside. Brought up in a boisterous tavern by his brother Jacoby, Young Nathaniel could not know that the trumpets of war had again sounded and that a greater army than ever, its leaders bent on revenge and world dominion, threatened a vastly weakened Tabor. He would be forced onto a quest of unparalleled magic.

Against the immense backdrop of the American West, Larry McMurtry tracks the Berrybender's as they make their way up the great river, surviving attacks, discomfort, savage weather, and natural disaster. Sin Killer is an adventure story as big as the West itself, full of incident, and suspense, as well as a charming love story between a headstrong and aristocratic young Englishwoman and the stubborn, shy, and very American Jim Snow.

Good story but...
Some parts of it made very little sense, particularly the last part where he decided to join Custer. Huh?
I think the author mostly just wanted to narrate from the standpoint of the whites at little big horn, because it's more dramatic... or something like that

Excellent story and performance. I had to recheck the details half way through to make sure it was fiction.

An excellent story, narrated perfectly. I only wish it could have continued on. But I understand there is a sequel, so I might check that out

a little slow, but well done.
I would say it's a fun look at history. I probably wouldn't recommend this book myself, but my partner loved it.

Huck Finn on Fire Water
Any additional comments?
This book was clearly a work of fiction, occasionally drifting to fantasy. It did have the ring of realism, however, in it's depiction of Native Americans and their way of life. This was not a didactic novel trying to preach about the horrific genocide and mistreatment of the original inhabitants of our continent, but a very engaging action novel. It was thoroughly enjoyable and fun, however it leaves the reader with a deeper empathy for a way of life that was cruelly taken from people who were ironically portrayed as savages.
I feel this book border lines on a classic. Berger isn't Mark Twain, but he is very good and his story is a milestone in portraying the West in a new light.

Captivating story!
I started this book on a road trip, and ended up being consumed by is so much so that I looked forward to the car rides around Morocco just so I could listen some more. Jack Crabb is a fascinating character, and I believe this book has opened my interests to more of the frontier life of our country's past. There were times I was angry at Crabb, because the stories were so real, and his reactions so honest I found myself debating his choices. That is the kind of book I like, one that draws me in and shows history along the way. Regardless of if you take his tales at a true man's life or a fiction historical novel one this is certain- this book is worth all its given recognition and then some.

A Modern Western Masterpiece
Too many people pass these old stories by. They might think there dated, or corny, or maybe they just don’t like the genre. I’m telling you that you are all privileged to live in this era in which we all have access to not only current works of art, (books, paintings, music, video, drama, etc.),but we have access to almost all of the works of art ever created in one form or another. It’s even at our fingertips. I wish my parents would have lived long enough to see and access so much....humanity. It’s an exciting era that we should never take for granted.
That being said, stretch and read something that you usually wouldn’t read. If not this classic, then pick another and expand your human experience.
This is not a basic western. It is an alternative history/reality soup while remaining realistic. It has strong characters and a very unique plot. It explores The West, explores the lives of The White Man, explores the lives of Native Americans, explores Colonialism, explores Gen. Custard, and explores life in general in that time period. The main character has one boot in the Native American camp and one boot in the White Man’s camp. What follows allows you to see and compare ALL the different camps. It becomes a realistic, fun, insightful ride that is grounded in the past, but has implications for the present and the future. You will be surprised at where Berger takes you and where he takes you adds the action,suspense, and a touch of mystery and comedy, that keeps you interested. You won’t fall asleep in the saddle.
What more could you want? Well, it’s written by a master story teller...Berger and it has some great narrators that bring his story and characters to life.
Westerns are not my favorite genre, but great stories are...GREAT in any genre. Lonesome Dove and Little Big Man are two of the greatest westerns/books ever written. The movie was great too with Dustin Hoffman in the lead.
Note: This book does reflect a past era in which some characters/Native Americans are ridiculed/harassed racially or in other ways. This reflects the writer’s interest in creating realistic characters for the time period. Additionally, you will be surprised at the progressiveness and diversity of Berger’s characters. This is revisionist history which was ahead of its time.
