Zeke and Ned -- Larry McMurtry

<b>Full of adventure, grace, and tragedy, Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana tell the story of two powerful Cherokee warriors searching for the future of Indian Territory. </b> <p/><i>Zeke and Ned</i> is the story of Ezekiel Proctor and Ned Christie, the last Cherokee warriors--two proud, passionate men whose remarkable quest to carve a future out of Indian Territory east of the Arkansas River after the Civil War is not only history, but legend. Played out against an American West governed by a brutal brand of frontier justice, this intensely moving saga brims with a rich cast of indomitable and utterly unforgettable characters such as Becca, Zeke's gallant Cherokee wife, and Jewel Sixkiller Proctor, whose love for Ned makes her a tragic heroine. <p/>At once exuberant and poignant, bittersweet and brilliant, <i>Zeke and Ned</i> takes us deep into the hearts of two extraordinary men who were willing to go the distance for the bold vision they shared--and for the women they loved.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Larry McMurtry, Diana Ossana<br><b>Publisher:</b> Simon & Schuster<br><b>Published:</b> 12/03/2002<br><b>Pages:</b> 416<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.80lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.30w x 1.30d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780743230179<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Larry McMurtry (1936-2021) was the author of twenty-nine novels, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning <i>Lonesome Dove</i>, three memoirs, two collections of essays, and more than thirty screenplays.
