The Silver Dollar: The Beginning
Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
It all starts with a coin, but not just any coin....
In 1835 a dollar can mean life, or the slow death by starvation for a young New Orleans street urchin. When the lad spots the silver dollar in the debris littering his path, he feels it's the luckiest day of his young life. But this coin has a history, and a future that doesn't include the boy. For a while the urchin and the coin's paths will intersect, and the union will spark an adventure the size and scope of which the young man could never have dreamed. But a coin is not meant for keeping.
As the silver dollar leaves one set of hands for another owner, the journey continues. From far-flung western frontiers, to the Great Plains, this one coin will touch many lives, a mountain man, a soiled dove, and it will witness unspeakable violence, and events of touching humanity. For many the coin will become their savor, a single silver drop in their empty well of hope. For others the coin is their last earthy possession, a token of good luck passed on to others for new guardianship. Yet, at each new pocket or purse, the scope and breath of the coin's path will astound you.
The Silver Dollar is an epic new western action tale like nothing you've ever read before, unique, heartbreaking and packed with the historical details you have come to expect from best selling author, WR Benton.
