Praise For This Book


National Book Award Finalist-Fiction
An Amazon Best Book of October 2016:

"A powerful, richly-realized journey....Captain Kidd belongs in the pantheon of great Western characters along with True Grit's Rooster Cogburn and Lonesome Dove's Gus and Call." - Charles Frazier, National Book Award-winning author of Cold Mountain

"A stunning story that tore at my heart and my gut. The relationship at its core between a grizzled old man and a lost young girl digs deep into what it means to care about someone and to find your place in the world." - Tracy Chevalier, author of Girl with a Pearl Earring

"This Western is not to be missed by Jiles's fans and lovers of Texan historical fiction." (Library Journal on NEWS OF THE WORLD)
