Becoming a West Texas rancher-and patriarch of a tumultuous progeny-Amos blames a curse from the bank robber whose hanging he botches for his reversal of fortune. Fearing "posterity's verdict on a life he had lost track of, his own," Amos hears from his wife that he's just "A Hero of Brag."
This perceptive, beautifully written novel by the author of the National Novella Award-winning Geronimo's Ponies brings post-Civil War Texas to life.
