Zeke and Ned description
With this new historical Western, Larry McMurtry returns to the genre in which he created such memorable characters as Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call. In collaboration with Pretty Boy Floyd coauthor Diana Ossana, he dramatizes the Cherokee struggle for independence following the Civil War. Ezekiel Proctor and Ned Christie are the last Cherokee warriors, men of legend and history, whose fates are a consequence of such brutal policies as the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the infamous Trail of Tears. They struggle to find honor in a harsh, violent land under the relentless pressure of white law and broken promises. Every bit as tough as their men, the women in Zeke and Ned are determined to raise their families and keep the two men alive--whatever it takes. |

Brilliant

I almost lost faith in McMurtry in his Sin Killer series, but I went back and picked up Zeke and Ned and rediscovered the writer I fell in love with in Lonesome Dove.
I live 30 miles east of Tahlequah and the setting is dead on. Ned is a strong character, representing the Cherokee Nation well, while other characters are rich and real, and downright funny at times, while tragic and flawed as well.
This is a brilliant book, well-written, and a portrait of Native America as real people. |
