“An expansive, lyrical, period Western in the tradition of A.B. Guthrie, Jr. and Larry McMurtry. Savor this one — they don't make cowboy epics like this anymore.”— Hampton Sides, bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers

Hard Country

by Michael McGarrity

A true blue Western with cowboys and outlaws so authentic you can smell the gunpowder as you turn the pages...

Michael McGarrity reinvents the Western with a riveting story that is both one family's history as well as the history of America. Drawn from the personal writings of pioneers, settlers, cattlemen, and other immigrants who wrote of their experiences, HARD COUNTRY is packed with an honest portrayal of people and the events that set into motion the final closing of the frontier.

“...a great and true American novel of the West...it is an unforgettable book. I loved it”— Douglas Preston, author of Cities of Gold and The Monster of Florence

“Hard Country is aptly titled, and the reader will take a spectacular journey with real people settling the West.”— Max Evans, author of The Rounders

“A compelling and richly imagined epic told by a master storyteller...I didn't want the story to end. It is just that good.”— Margaret Coel, author of Buffalo Bill's Dead Now
