THE PEOPLE
Harlan Hague
"One of our great western historians turns his talents to
fiction with imaginative and highly entertaining results.
The People is 'What If' fiction at its very best."
— Paul Andrew Hutton
In this retelling of the frontier story, the western tribes
put aside ancient enmities and form a confederation to
oppose the invasion of their lands by the American army
and settlers. The confederation has control of gold mines
and superior weapons supplied by a shadowy Asian
people called the Celestials. The
confederation of The People is
led by the Beothuk, who escaped
extinction in their ancient homeland
in eastern Canada and settled in the
American west.

CAPTURED
From the Frontier Diary of Infant Danny Duly
Gregory J. Lalire
"This novel is a fun read, with its twists and turns, and I
recommend it highly to western as well as historical fiction
devotees who may enjoy novels with an unusual twist."

With her husband in the local insane asylum, Libbie
Duly leaves Chicago in 1866 for booming Virginia City,
Montana Territory. On the Oregon Trail she gives birth
to the remarkable Danny Duly, who had already begun

the womb. Along the dangerous
Bozeman Trail, Libbie and son fall
into the hands of a Sioux warrior,
and the emigrant story becomes a
chronicle of captivity.

Peter Brandvold

the frontier is the men who inhabit it. A gang of outlaws
without mercy has just found a
whole wagon train of victims.

outlaws destroyed everything he had
lived, worked, and fought for. Now

left to lose.

THE HOMESMAN
Glendon Swarthout
On the 1850s frontier, some brave women's hearts and
minds were broken by bitter hardship. A "homesman"
must escort a handful of them back East to a sanitarium,
and the job falls to the indomitable and resourceful Mary
Bee Cuddy. She knows she cannot succeed alone, but the
only companion Mary Bee can find is low-life claim jumper
George Briggs. Thus begins a trek
against the tide of colonization,
hardship, Indian attacks, ice
storms, and loneliness.
