Half a Mile from Tucson: A Dead Western

"Half a Mile from Tucson" is a captivating novel set in the early 20th century, as the West was experiencing a significant transformation, marked by the end of the Civil War and the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869. Against this backdrop, we follow the lives of two men, Jack Straw and Shannon, whose paths cross in the Arizona and New Mexico territories.
Jack Straw, a former cowboy turned miner, is struggling to make ends meet in a town where the mining trade is dwindling. Shannon, on the other hand, is a traveler from the East looking for a new life in the West. As they journey together along the Southern Pacific, they traverse cow towns, saloons, and hotels, all while trying to find their place in a changing world.
The novel is a thrilling tale of adventure and friendship, as the two men navigate the perils of the Western landscape and discover their true destinies. Against the backdrop of the expanding railroad and the changing West, the story highlights the indomitable spirit of the American West and the resilience of those who sought to build new lives in this untamed territory.
Overall, "Half a Mile from Tucson" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and mythos of the American West. With its vivid descriptions, well-drawn characters, and compelling narrative, it captures the essence of a pivotal moment in American history and brings it to life in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
