The Western is not dead. In this collection of ten stories, James Ciccone finds new possibilities in an old form, letting each character speak in a voice of their own.
A recently emancipated Black woman faces horse thieves. A fugitive slave musters into the Union army. A teenager comes of age. Each story offers a different window into the psychology and symbolism of its time.
From Madman of Union County to Tell Heaven It Can Wait and How the Light Gets In, the collection explores the people behind the mythology of the American West.
