To Honor the Dead

From the earliest beginnings of the white man's relentless march across the Great Plains through the shameful Indian tribal relocations and bloody military campaigns of the late 1800s, tragedy has clung to the haunted landscape surrounding the old Tyree homestead in western Oklahoma, the agony of warfare and defeat lingering far beyond a generation, a single lifetime.Now, after nearly half a century, a more recent tragedy is coming to light."To Honor the Dead" is the story of Colter Tyree's prodigal homecoming, just as a corrupt local law enforcement officer and a mixed-blood southern Cheyenne trickster and Vietnam veteran named Oliver Wendell Holmes Lonewolf begin a deadly dance of escalating violence and long overdue redemption.Shaw, Joseph W. is the author of 'To Honor the Dead', published 2008 under ISBN 9780826339997 and ISBN 0826339999.
