This is a tale of the Old American West and a feisty young survivor, Ben. Before readers leave him, he has learned to skin buffalo, faced his brother's killer, and discovered that the hardened beliefs he's grown up with regarding Indians and blacks have no meaning in the teeming, vibrant, cruel new land. A glib narration bears readers along on Ben's odyssey. Vivid and original, Carter's hefty tale upends the edifying myths of a young country without diluting the epochal images of the not-so-distant past.Carter, Peter is the author of 'Borderlands - Peter Carter' with ISBN 9780374308957 and ISBN 0374308950.
