Description
Wild West lore collides with a life of crime in this biographical novel of the legendary Cherokee outlaw.
Growing up on Indian Territory in Oklahoma, Henry Starr had an illustrious family lineage: half Cherokee warriors, half western outlaws. Inspired by dime-store novels and old family tales, he began robbing banks to avenge the bitter mistreatment of his people. But while Starr's criminal career soon made him a legend, it also won him a death sentence. That was years ago, before a lucky twist of fate sets Henry free. But while the world has changed around him, the myth of the outlaw Henry Starr lives on. Now his best chance at a new life is to work in Hollywood--depicting his former self in silent films. As Henry is drawn into a glamorized version of his own past, it becomes difficult to separate truth from fiction. And he soon finds himself returning to the life that made him a notorious icon. A fictionalized tale of Henry Starr's dramatic life, novelist and historian Richard Slotkin brings authentic period detail to this saga of the frontier.Author: Richard Slotkin
