The Brave Cowboy

From acclaimed author and literary genius Edward Abbey comes this classic novel that inspired the motion picture Lonely Are The Braveâ‚¬"a stirring and unforgettable tribute to the American hero and the American West.
The Brave Cowboy is a classic of modern Western literature. It follows Jack Burns, a loner at odds with modern civilization. He rides a feisty chestnut mare across the New Westâ‚¬"a once beautiful land now smothered beneath airstrips and superhighways. An "anarchist cowboy," he lives by a personal code of ethics that sets him on a collision course with the keepers of law and order. After a prison breakout plan goes awry, he finds himself and his horse, Whisky,Â pursued across the desert towards the mountains that lead to Mexico, and to freedom. With local law enforcement, the feds, and the military on their tails, the cowboy and his horse race towards their destiny.
