A homesman must be found to escort a handful of them back East to a sanitarium. When none of the countys men steps up, the job falls to Mary Bee Cuddyex-teacher, spinster, indomitable and resourceful. Brave as she is, Mary Bee knows she cannot succeed alone. The only companion she can find is the low-life claim jumper George Briggs. Thus begins a trek east, against the tide of colonization, against hardship, Indian attacks, ice storms, and lonelinessa timeless classic told in a series of tough, fast-paced adventures. In an unprecedented sweep, Glendon Swarthouts novel won both the Western Writers of Americas Spur Award and the Western Heritage Wrangler Award. A new afterword by the authors son Miles Swarthout tells of his parents Glendon and Kathryns discovery of and research into the lives of the oft-forgotten frontier women who make The Homesman as moving and believable as it is unforgettable.
