Blessed McGill (Texas Literary Classics)
"An absolutely first-rate account of the rambunctious life and times of the Reconstruction years in Texas...an enthralling era of derring-do which finds its perfect chronicler in Mr. Shrake. His novel has all the vigor and excitement of a war Apache in full cry." --George Plimpton"Shrake writes in a hard-driving, ironic style of extreme naturalism, giving a very different view of McGill's sainthood and providing a colorful description of the old West." --Publishers Weekly"The high adventure in Mr. Shrake's book is interwoven with fascinating material about the lives and customs of the Indians." --New York Review of Books"Shrake writes in a hard-driving, ironic style of extreme naturalism, giving a very different view of McGill's sainthood  and providing a colorful description of the old West." --Publishers Weekly"The high adventure in Mr. Shrake's book is interwoven with fascinating material about the lives and customs of the Indians." --New York Review of Books
