"Texas is famous for promotions... Bob Cherry weaves a rousing fictional account around this little-known actual event in 1896."
—Elmer Kelton, author of The Time It Never Rained
"Bob Cherry introduces us to a cast of characters that we might not want as guests at our Sunday dinner table... nevertheless we find them all with their undoubted flaws as a likeable bunch...A good story well told."
—Don Johnson, author of Brasada
"Somewhere we should hang a paper moon over the efforts of the original con man Phineas and Bob Cherry's delightful cast of characters who support Phineas' efforts to stage the great train wreck. A well paced novel with plenty of tastes of the dying frontier... you'll enjoy it."
—Dusty Richards, author of The Natural |
