Publisher Description
The classic, Golden Spur Award-winning novel of a man, a family, and a nation.
He came off the frontier: a buffalo hunter, a gambler, a loner. In Abilene he won a saloon at cards, and earned the fear of a lawless town. From then on, Jake Kincaid would not be stopped. He began a rampage of ambition and deal-making that forever changed a land called Kansas and the Indian Territories. But along the way the deeds and misdeeds of Jake Kincaid affected more than the frontier-- they shaped the lives of his two sons. One who became a lawman. One who became an outlaw. Both destined to come face-to-face behind blazing guns...
From Wild Bill Hickok to the Dolan outlaw gang to Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders, The Kincaids tells the classic saga of America at its most adventurous-- through the eyes of three generations who made laws, broke laws, and became legends in their time.
Customer Reviews
The Kincaids
Matt I like westerns but a few years south of where you placed this book. That being said It a reasonably accurate historical piece with one really glaring exception-I was born on Charley Creek in Osage County and your Character Bead supposedly marries a tiny Osage girl--that's rich a tiny Osage girl is about 5'10 150 lbs. those gals have shoulders about an axe handle wide. Nothing dainty about them--at all. That being said I was disappointed that you were so descriptive with things of a private nature and I was expecting a western adventure rather than a long family diary. Just not what I look for in a western.
