ABOUT THE BOOK

A magnificently sweeping tale of the American West in the aftermath of the Civil War that is heroic in scale, rich in dramatic action, and filled with brilliant characterizations. Horgan's three-dimensional pageant of the daring and dangerous frontier life has been termed "the finest historical novel in American literature" (Gorham Munson) and "the finest novel yet on the Southwest" (New York Times).

Originally published in 1960—selling half a million copies at the time—this immensely popular work of fiction has attracted, informed, and been embraced by a whole new generation of readers
