Terry C. Johnston Libros

Terry C. Johnston fue un narrador cuya pasión era dar vida a la temprana frontera del Oeste para sus lectores. Con un compromiso inquebrantable con la precisión histórica, se sumergió en el pasado, viajando a lugares remotos y verificando detalles de primera mano para asegurar que sus narrativas resonaran con autenticidad. Su enfoque combinaba magistralmente la narración emocionante con profundas ideas sobre las vidas y mentes de sus personajes. Johnston se consideraba a sí mismo no un "escritor literario" sino un narrador, impulsado por el deseo de educar e inspirar a una vasta audiencia sobre las realidades rústicas del Oeste americano.

“Set primarily on the high plains during the 1860s, this novel has the epic sweep of the frontier built into it.”— Publishers WeeklyJonah Hook fought for the Confederacy at Pea Ridge and Corinth, where he was wounded, captured, and sent to the prison hellhole they called Rock Island. The only way out for the young Reb was to don a blue uniform and serve on the western frontier as a “galvanized Yankee.”Along the North Platte, Tongue, and Powder rivers, Jonah Hook fights side by side with a buckskinned scout named Shadrach Sweete. When he returns to his Missouri farm, he finds an empty house and overgrown land. Now it will take all the knowledge and hard cunning he acquired on the frontier to rescue his family from the brutal men who kidnapped them. Finding them will be the journey of a lifetime.
