9780971766785. New condition. Hard cover. Language: English. Pages: 297. Glued binding. Cloth over boards. With dust jacket. 297 p. Set in Texas at the end of the Civil War, Bud Shrake's novel brings together an odd collection of characters, thrown together by circumstance: a young Condederate office, an English writer and adventurer, a young French mulatto girl from New Orleans, an aristocratic Spanish lady, and Tom Custer, brother of the Custer of Little Big Horn fame. Custer's Brother's Horse, Athena, provides a unifying thread throughout the narrative. Shrake writes of a Texas filled with uncertainty and torn by violent conflict ? between Confederates and anti-secessionists, pro and anti-slavery groups, the people of Texas and the occupying military forces of the victorious North. This is a great Texas book from a great Texas writer. It is filled with adventure, romance, humor and mystery ? all in an authentic historical context.
