This is a rousing, old-fashioned tale loosely based on the true story of a little-known chapter of Western history: the deadly feud of the Tonto Basin in Arizona or the Pleasant Valley War. When Jean Isbel answers his father's summons home, he makes a huge mistake for a cattleman's son-he falls for a sheepherder's daughter, Ellen Jorth. Her father is expanding his sheepherding operation, and the stock are grazing down the surrounding range. What begins as the age-old rivalry between cattlemen and sheepherders erupts into a violent war between cattlemen and rustlers masquerading as sheep men, and the two lovers are caught in the middle. Indeed, the violence seems to pause only long enough for the womenfolk to bury their dead before the hogs eat them. While the language is a bit dated, Jim Gough's masterful narration of this exciting story will hold listeners spellbound. Since good Westerns are rather scarce on the ground these days, Blackstone Audio is performing a special service by making this old classic available to a new generation. Highly recommended for all libraries.
最后一个人(To the Last Man)简介: 这是一个激动人心的老式故事,大致基于西方历史鲜为人知的一章的真实故事:亚利桑那州通托盆地的致命争斗或普莱森特山谷战争。当让·伊斯贝尔响应父亲的召唤回家时,他犯了一个牧牛人的儿子的巨大错误——他爱上了牧羊人的女儿艾伦·乔思。她的父亲正在扩大他的放牧业务,而牲畜正在周围的范围内放牧。牧羊人与牧羊人之间由来已久的竞争开始,演变成牧牛人和伪装成牧羊人的盗贼之间的激烈战争,两个恋人被夹在中间。事实上,暴力似乎只暂停了足够长的时间,让女人们在猪吃掉他们之前埋葬死者。虽然语言有点过时,但吉姆·高夫 对这个激动人心的故事的精湛叙述将让听众着迷。由于如今优秀的西部片在当地相当稀缺,Blackstone Audio 提供了一项特殊服务,将这部古老的经典作品提供给新一代。强烈推荐给所有图书馆。
