Ceniennial
One Year on The New York Times Best Seller List CENTENNIAL is an enthralling celebration of our country—a stunning panorama of the West, brimming with the glory and the greatness of the American past.
This is the story of the land and its people—of Lame Beaver, the Arapaho chieftain and warrior, and his Comanche and Pawnee enemies; of Levi Zendt, fleeing H with his child bride from the Amish country back in Pennsylvania; and of the cowboy Jim Lloyd, who falls in love with the wealthy and cultured Englishwoman,^ Charlotte Seccombe. It is a story of trappers, traders, || homesteaders, gold seekers, ranchers, hunters—all caught up in the dramatic events and violent conflicts that shaped the destiny of our legendary West.
