Synopsis
One of America's greatest Western storytellers, Elmer Kelton has been voted the greatest Western writers of all time by the Western Writers of America. Dark Thicket is one of his many classic tales of the history of his home state of Texas. Young Owen Danforth rides home to Texas as a wounded Confederate soldier, at a time when his home state is as savagely divided as his nation. As a grievously wounded America staggers toward the inevitable end of the Civil War, secessionist "home guards" and staunch Union loyalists fight their own bloody battles on a more local scale. For Owen, sick to death of fighting and yearning for peace and recuperation, his homecoming is bittersweet. And when his blood ties force him to choose a side in an unwinnable conflict, Owen begins to wonder if he will ever see peace in Texas again.

    ARG! Pirate has arrived. Harrison is here also with ladies in distress and mysteries. I ordered 7/4. Seller had books in mail the next day. The Postal Service had the Hellhounds chasing Flash it was here so quick on 7/8, awesome service. The collectable books were described as HB/Fine and DJ/Fine and they are. Communication with seller on shipping instructions excellent. Package with both books secured, bubble wrapped twice in box with pellets, no movement. Feedback continued on Harrison book.

    I can't recommend this seller highly enough. Everything was excellent, from the items' condition, to communication, to packaging. They took extra care with packaging because they knew we were having floods in my area. Postage was fast and tracking was brilliant. Postage cost to Australia was ridiculous, but that's not the seller's fault - they actually gave me a discount for multiple items! I hope to be a return customer.

    The seller packaged the book really well, which was important as the cover of the book is a large part of the appeal. They shipped it within a reasonable amount of time (a few days). The description on the listing matched the condition the book was in when I received it. I would buy from this seller again.
