Description: An astonishing epic of American history by the renowned author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee

Dee Brown is the author of several bestsellers, including the classic nonfiction work Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, which sold over 5 million copies worldwide, and the highly acclaimed novel Creek Mary's Blood. Brown's impact on our understanding of our heritage cannot be underestimated. This revered writer, who has lived through most of this century, has written over two dozen books on life in frontier America and has forever put his stamp on American history. In The Way to Bright Star, Dee Brown outdoes himself, taking readers on a grand tour of 1860's heartland America. It is a grand coming-of-age novel, much like Charles Porter's True Grit, and destined to become an American classic. The story is told through the eyes of Ben Butterfield, an ex-circus performer living out his days in a backwater town, looking back at an incredible moment in his boyhood: An odyssey across Kansas and Missouri to Bright Star, Indiana, during the Civil War. On that journey he would meet the friends he would treasure always -- and the woman who would forever have a lock on his heart.

"Original, remarkable, and finally heartbreaking....impossible to put down". -- The New York Times on Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee

"This tale of America's Gilded Age is told with a vigor and irony that do full justice to its excesses, energies, venalities, and dreams". -- Newsweek on Hear That Lonesome Whistle Blow

"It is obvious from the outset that Brown knows the Civil War period as well as he knows the Indian War and the taming of the West....A consummate storyteller. The rivers flow, the winds blow, the nights arefull of secrets and the days pulse with real life". -- The Washington Post on Conspiracy of Knaves

"Brown is a master of the plain style, modulating it skillfully to fit whatever engages his sense of wonder". -- The Orlando Sentinel
