A “homesman” must be found to escort a handful of them back East to a sanitarium. When none of the county’s men steps up, the job falls to Mary Bee Cuddy—ex-teacher, spinster, indomitable, and resourceful. Brave as she is, Mary Bee knows she cannot succeed alone. The only companion she can find is the low-life claim jumper George Briggs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Thus begins a trek east, against the tide of colonization, against hardship, Indian attacks, ice storms, and loneliness—a timeless classic told in a series of tough, fast-paced adventures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn an unprecedented sweep, Glendon Swarthout’s novel won both the Western Writers of America’s Spur Award and the Western Heritage Wrangler Award. A new afterword by the author’s son Miles Swarthout tells of his parents Glendon and Kathryn’s discovery of and research into the lives of the oft-forgotten frontier women who make The Homesman as moving and believable as it is unforgettable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor CD Player\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Glendon Swarthout","offers":[{"title":"Used In Box","offer_id":49091635544342,"sku":"103984","price":18.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/2024729155933132.jpg?v=1726178809","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/the-homesman-a-novel-unabridged","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
