Up Next: Jason Stone and his novel, THE BEAUTY OF THE DAYS GONE BY. Moderated by Matt Walter.
ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF THE DAYS GONE BY
Based on historical events that occurred in Comancheria, the region of West Texas and New Mexico controlled by the Comanche in the 18th and 19th centuries, THE BEAUTY OF THE DAYS GONE BY is a historical survival story, interweaving the reminisces of aging plainsman Charles Goodnight in the late 1920s against the backdrop of Reconstruction Texas and the events set in motion when a Kiowa raiding party kills the wife and abducts the sons of his friend R.L. Terry.
