From a saloon showdown unlike any other and outlaws double-crossing each other to a fur trapper hell-bent on vengeance and a power struggle between medicine men, Jakes's frontier stories capture the same sweeping historical drama and unforgettable characterizations as his epic novels in the Crown Family Saga, the Kent Family Chronicles, and the North and South Trilogy. <br> "At the very heart of every Jakes saga is a story that throbs to the beat of history." --<i>The Cleveland Plain Dealer</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"John Jakes is the best historical novelist of our time." --Patricia Cornwell "At the very heart of every Jakes saga is a story that throbs to the beat of history." --<i>The Cleveland Plain Dealer</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>John Jakes (b. 1932), the author of more than a dozen novels, is regarded as one of today's most distinguished writers of historical fiction.
