pSet in the U.S. West in 1888, TRAVIS, TEXAS lays out the land and its people in a turbulent time. The book is full of atmosphere and interesting characters...cowboys, saloon hall girls, renegade Native Americans. It is a rousing novel. ppbrppGary Harmon's latest offering, Travis, Texas, showcases his flair for the historical western, and he infuses the book with a realism that rings true on every page. No doubt aided by his early experiences as a stock trader, Harmon knows whereof he speaks. But the author is a storyteller at heart, and in Travis, Texas he's created a corral full of colorful characters and makes you care about them. If you like authentic, fact-based westerns, you're sure to enjoy Travis, Texas. -R. J. Norgard, author of emRoad Kill emand emTrophy Killemp
