<B >IN PIONEER NEBRASKA, A WOMAN LEADS WHERE NO MAN WILL GO</strong><BR> <BR>Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Tommy Lee Jones, <I >The Homesman</em> is a devastating story of early pioneers in 1850s American West. It celebrates the ones we hear nothing of: the brave women whose hearts and minds were broken by a life of bitter hardship. A ?homesman? must be found to escort a handful of them back East to a sanitarium. When none of the county?s men steps up, the job falls to Mary Bee Cuddy?ex-teacher, spinster, indomitable and resourceful. Brave as she is, Mary Bee knows she cannot succeed alone. The only companion she can find is the low-life claim jumper George Briggs. Thus begins a trek east, against the tide of colonization, against hardship, Indian attacks, ice storms, and loneliness?a timeless classic told in a series of tough, fast-paced adventures.<BR> <BR>In an unprecedented sweep, Glendon Swarthout?s novel won both the Western Writers of America?s Spur Award and the Western Heritage Wrangler Award. A new afterword by the author?s son Miles Swarthout tells of his parents Glendon and Kathryn?s discovery of and research into the lives of the oft-forgotten frontier women who make <I >The Homesman</em> as moving and believable as it is unforgettable.
