From the acclaimed author of
Warlock comes "an elegiac, incandescent 1880s Dakota badlands Western that bears comparison to the greats" (
Kirkus).
It's 1883 in Johnson County, in the old Dakota Territory-a rugged, wide-open landscape of rolling red earth, prairie, and cattle as far as the eye can see. But the land is closing, the "Beef Bonanza" is ending, and the free-range cattlemen are stuck watching their way of life disappear in a blaze of drought and gunfire.
An action-packed western from one of the masters of the genre, Oakley Hall's
The Bad Landsblends roundups and rustlers, whorehouses and land grabs, shoot-outs and the threat of hangings in a tale of the war between the cowboys and the cattle barons. But more than this, it is an elegy to the wild beauty of the badlands before the ranchers moved in, chased off the free-rangers, the trappers, and the tribes, and fenced it all in.
"Readers unable to suppress an unfashionable yearning for a good story will be delighted with
The Bad Lands."-Larry McMurtry,
The New York Times
