A fascinating window into a specific time and place, gripping and easy to read, for adults and teens
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 6 years ago
Ever wonder what life was like in Texas after the Civil War? Through the viewpoints of twin young men of mixed race, the author plunges you into a vividly imagined, chaotic and unsettled world between Mexico and the United States, not southern or northern, not Indian or white or Mexican or German or black, but all of these at once. The author manages to place their adventures on the skeleton of real history: early days of base-ball, the Buffalo soldiers, the forts in Texas, the last days of freedom for most of the Comanche people. Don't be put off by the cover, which has nothing to do with the story except that there are two birds in different directions.
