Liar's moon

"It's 1852 and a young girl in Texas is kidnapped by Indians. It's 1859 and two toddlers fall off a buckboard heading west: rumor has it they survived and are being raised by coyotes. It's 1874 and a young brave has a vision he is invincible: he will lead his people to disaster. It's 1879 and a black Mississippi sharecropper is terrorized into making the migration west."--BOOK JACKET. "It's 1890 and we have arrived at Wounded Knee: the West has been subdued."--BOOK JACKET. "As it de-romanticizes our greatest story, the novel shows how history slid into legend to become - in little more than thirty years - the defining myth of America. With its mix of songs and laments, tall tales, hearsay, and history, Liar's Moon is a true American original."--BOOK JACKET.
