More accessible and murkily poetic than ever." --<i>Los Angeles Times Book Review</i> <p/>"One of the wildest rides into the Wild West, and other parts known and unknown, we will ever have." --<i>The Washington Post Book World</i> <p/>"A moving personal saga as well as a record of revolutionary vision." --<i>Chicago Tribune Book World</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>William S.
