Elmer Kelton, one of the West's greatest storytellers, winner of the Saddleman and Western Heritage Awards, brings back the unforgettable characters he first created in his Spur Award-winning Slaughter in this powerful new epic of the American frontier THE FAR CANYON For Confederate veteran Jeff Layne, the days of slaughter are over. He has fought the Comanches at Adobe Walls and hunted buffalo on the Staked Plains. Now he wants nothing more than to settle down to the quiet life of a Texas rancher. He plans to drive his herd north to a distant canyon where the buffalo once roamed free and where Layne dreams he can at last find peace. But that dream will be shattered by an old enemy who once stole his family's land and whose hatred has followed him even here. For Comanche warrior Crow Feather, who fought against Layne at Adobe Walls, the days of slaughter have just begun. The buffalo are dwindling, his people have been scattered, and the old ways are dying. Now the U.S. Army is rounding up the surviving Comanches and herding them onto a reservation. Such captivity is unthinkable to Crow Feather, who would rather die than surrender. As he and his family flee across the plains, he too holds in his heart and memory a remote canyon. It is here he will seek to preserve his people's heritage-or make a desperate last stand. ELMER KELTON is "one of the best of a new breed of Western writers who have driven the genre into new territory." --The New York Times Vissza
