Product Description
John McDivel, Brazos’ first attempt at publishing, is the story of a west Texas cowboy set in the 1880s at a time when the fledgling state of Texas was much different than it is now. His reluctant hero, John McDivel, is forced to deal with a variety of people and situations in his travels, quite a few of which are settled at the point of a gun. Born lonely and outcast, he must deal with ghosts from his past that remain with him, and that drive many of the things he does. Doggedly chasing his dream of happiness, he eventually finds his real mother, much to his surprise, and his two children that he didn’t know existed. In pursuit of all, he traverses the state from El Paso to the northern city of Amarillo, where his ride through life finally ends. Take the ride with him…and enjoy.
