Cast a wide loop
About This Book
In the autumn of 1883, the rough country west of Holt County in Nebraska was starting to take shape. Earlier that year, Brown County was split off from Holt and the Long Pine precinct. Railroad tracks had reached Stuart and Bassett and were still being laid toward Valentine, telegraph wires connected the growing towns, and newspapers carried sensational headlines on every corner. Everything seemed to be moving forward. Augustus "Gus" John is pulled in two directions. The vigilantes of the newly formed Niobrara Protection Association, led by Cap Burnham, expect his support. So does his old friend Albert Wade, who has just been released from jail and is determined to settle a score. Gus must decide where his loyalty belongs. This fictionalized story draws on Nebraska's vigilante era and the short period when Kid Wade led a band of horse thieves. Richard Prosch brings real historical figures into the narrative. The result is a fast, violent adventure with strong emotions and moments of personal reflection.
