Violent Land

When Dan Nathan came to Oregon it was a raw land, a land hostile to men. He'd seen the abandoned emigrant wagons on the trail, the bleached bones of long-dead oxen and the crumbling shacks of yesterday - evidence of the defeat to which man's hope and labour came. Dan was young in years but he had to do a man's work, he battled in grown-up fights and learned to do the ugly things that men had to do to stay alive in the savage wilderness they called the frontier.Overholser, Wayne D. is the author of 'Violent Land ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781405680134 and ISBN 140568013X.
