About this ebook
MACKINLAY KANTOR
Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Andersonville
A FRONTIER NOVEL BY MACKINLAY KANTOR
Two people rode into Pahoka City on the S. C. & W. passenger train that September day. One of them was Rich Williams, with grimy stubble on his cheeks; the brakeman shoved him off the blind baggage, and Rich strolled up the empty street to Kite's Cafe and Cookson's Bar. He looked like an ordinary bum, but he carried a gun that people couldn't see; and he had a lot of money and papers strapped inside his shirt.
The other passenger was a girl with high-piled hair and an Irish mouth. She descended timidly from the day coach; men looked at her ankles. Annie Lingen thought she knew where she would be spending the night, but there was a surprise in store for her.
A hundred other surprises await the readers of Gentle Annie. The blustering Tatums with their angry eyes; Lucian Barrow, the ragged photographer who specializes in pictures of dead outlaws; and, above all, the Goss family—the brothers Cot and Vi, and their strange, wild mother.
This frontier novel roars like an Oklahoma tornado. The punctuation is made with bullet-holes; a pageant of love and terror and reckless encounter springs from every page.
