Tall Tales of a Pioneer Based on the life of a real Montana pioneer, this novel reveals the stamina and high ideals of those days of struggle, privation, and laughter. Harry Younger races to claim his homestead, lies about his age, fights blizzards, floods and fire to keep it. A half-breed warns him the Spirit of Aknissal will drive him out, but Harry refuses to give up until nature itself destroys his dream. “I felt my eyebrows curl, knew I had only minutes to escape the flames. In a blanket of smoke, I stumbled down the bluff to the river. A solid blanket of flame lay across the Flathead. I clawed up the trail—passed the cabin—flames cracking around my boots. |

Felt plowed ground. Forced open swollen eyes to peer into smoke. Dropped into my escape hole. Smoke! Leaped out and ran. Fire roared behind me. Make it…breathe..can make it…hit barbed wire, fell flat to crawl under the fence and groped my way to the tracks, slid down the bank to the culvert. A storm of smoke funneling through it nearly flattened me. Where now?” |
