Set in the Wild West, this classic short story explores the journey of characters facing challenges and adventures on their way to Lordsburg. Its vivid portrayal of the era and compelling character dynamics contributed to its popularity, especially following the successful 1939 film adaptation, Stagecoach. Haycox's storytelling captures the essence of the Western genre, making it a notable work in American literature.
"New Hope" combines three of Haycox's finest short novels with the interconnected stories he wrote about New Hope, a freighting town on the Missouri River in what was then the Nebraska Territory. The novels include "The Roaring Hour, " "The Kid from River Red, " and "The Hour of Fury."
For the first time in paperback, from one of the masters of Western fiction, comes three interconnected stories that form that dramatic saga of Burnt Creek, a small crossroads town in central Oregon populated by daring homesteaders.
