The Southern Plainsman Mar 27, 2008
The Southern Plainsman by Andru Hunter is the story of one man's journey to personal greatness.
In The Southern Plainsman, T.K. Ross, a plainsman since the Civil War, is witnessing the westward flow of settlers. The wild ways of the Kansas prairies are now surrendering to a new force. The Indians are nearly submissive, and the buffalo are becoming sparse. Longing to settle down and make a contribution to the community, T.K. takes his first step toward taming the rough country of Newton, Kansas and becomes a U.S. Marshal. With his new badge, he sets out to find love, friendship, and a home, meeting along the way, historical figures such as Wild Bill Hickok, Buffalo Bill Cody, and Buffalo Billy Dixon.
While researching ancestors, the author came across a relative who ultimately became the inspiration for the book's main character, and in keeping with the theme, the author used real historical happenings and people where possible to construct one exceptional story. Hunter easily captures the danger that people faced in their everyday lives living on the plains.
Encouraging readers to research their own history and discover how ordinary people have extraordinary stories to tell, this novel is wonderful addition to any home library. A captivating read filled with excitement and adventure, The Southern Plainsman proves heroes are just regular people who rise to the challenge at hand.
