Adventures of Zack Gentry A Tongue-in-Cheek History of the Opening of the West (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Wouldn’t it be phenomenal if a man could travel back in time and sit within a hostile Indian encampment, directly facing the legendary Lakota Chief, Crazy Horse, while at the same time being asked to hear the plight of his people, or could stand on the brink of the Kingsbury Grade overlooking the Carson Valley, while conversing with the legendary Kit Carson, the very man that brought the valley its name, or stand on a high bluff in the Rocky Mountains and watch a Pony Express rider on his charge to deliver the mail, or be close enough to the Wounded Knee Massacre to hear the sounds of the firing? If you can imagine such a man being sent back in time, the author’s main character, Zack Gentry, could have been that person.


Zack was a man who loved his women, so there are a lot of strong women characters in his story—including “Calamity Jane” Cannary.
This is not a traditional Western novel, it’s a capsulated history of the historical events of an era —with a little bit of “legend” thrown in! It’s a great read for both men and women—young adults to old-timers.
