Description
"Set in the Cherokee Nation not long after the Civil War, Zeke and Ned is the story of Ezekiel Proctor and Ned Christie, the last Cherokee warriors, living men whose story is not merely legend, but history - their fates a consequence of the brutal policies which produced the Trail of Tears." "In their second collaborative novel, McMurtry and Ossana introduce many characters whose stories are woven together with a skill that will remind the reader of Lonesome Dove."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
