THE BLAZING HORIZON
By Ernest Lynn
The True Story of Pawnee Bill
A thrilling, red-blooded tale of a picturesque character against the background of hell-roaring towns where men drank, quarreled, killed and went about their business; of primeval passions ruling the hearts of men who blazed the path of an Empire; a true story of the early days of the Southwest.
Gordon Lillie, as Pawnee Bill, the hero of countless men and boys of this and past generations, stood in the doorway of the restaurant in Caldwell one Saturday afternoon. Before him were cattle thieves, horse thieves, Indians, desperadoes, women with hard eyes and painted cheeks. He stood on the threshold of a career that was to be one of the most colorful and stirring in the annals of the glamorous Southwest.
More than a novel because far stranger than fiction, THE BLAZING HORIZON is an authentic account of the opening of Oklahoma, a swift and vivid recital of the struggle of thousands to gain a niche in the blazing horizon.
Starting in the eighties, it carries one on a wave of breathless excitement through the great rush of the Boomers, 50,000 strong, who stormed their way into the new territory; through days of hardships and adventure; through hair-raising episodes of courage and chivalry; through all the pains of the birth of a new country.
