Upstream in the Evening

In the spring of 1887, Sly Tackett and his blue tick hound, Nokomis, venture into dangerous territory in seach of a bride. Diverted to a mission of revenge, they acquire Grover, a stowaway fleeing his home in the Arkansas delta, where a murderer has sworn to get him. Grover's particular gifts soon make him a marked target, and he and Sly discover in each other a fellow "conniver" and true friend. Their travels into Indian Territory and back into Arkansas are laced with action, danger, and humor. In search of justice, romance, and home, they make their way through the still-wild frontier to where all fowl go in the shank of the day--upstream in the evening.Stone, Gerald Eugene Nathan is the author of 'Upstream in the Evening', published 2004 under ISBN 9780964051348 and ISBN 0964051346.
