<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Full of adventure, grace, and tragedy, Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana tell the story of two powerful Cherokee warriors searching for the future of Indian Territory. </b> <p/><i>Zeke and Ned</i> is the story of Ezekiel Proctor and Ned Christie, the last Cherokee warriors--two proud, passionate men whose remarkable quest to carve a future out of Indian Territory east of the Arkansas River after the Civil War is not only history, but legend. Played out against an American West governed by a brutal brand of frontier justice, this intensely moving saga brims with a rich cast of indomitable and utterly unforgettable characters such as Becca, Zeke's gallant Cherokee wife, and Jewel Sixkiller Proctor, whose love for Ned makes her a tragic heroine. <p/>At once exuberant and poignant, bittersweet and brilliant, <i>Zeke and Ned</i> takes us deep into the hearts of two extraordinary men who were willing to go the distance for the bold vision they shared--and for the women they loved.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>David Hendricks <i>San Antonio Express-News</i> This team can write.
