Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
A feud erupts that could burn a Texas town to the ground in this classic frontier adventure from “the greatest Western writer of all time” (Western Writers of America, Inc.).
Eyes of the Hawk, winner of the Spur Award for Best Western Novel, is an outstanding tale of Texas—filled with authentic characters and history, and telling the story of the remarkable courage and determination of the men and women who challenged an unyielding wilderness to build a frontier legend.
Thomas Canfield descends from a line of Texas’s earliest settlers. A proud man with a fierce-eyed stare, he inspires the Mexicans of Stonehill, Texas, to call him el Gavilan—the “hawk.” When Branch Isom—an insolent, dangerous newcomer—seeks to build his fortune at Canfield’s expense, an all-out feud ensues, hurtling the town toward a day of reckoning that will shake it to its very roots. Eyes of the Hawk is a classic tale of Western history, told by one of the most critically acclaimed writers of the American West.
