Green River Saga

Green River Saga is both a classic of the American West and a unique tale of one man’s desperate search for redemption. Jeremiah Staggart’s failure to protect his family during the Civil War sends him into a terrifying quest for sanity and salvation in the Wyoming wilderness amid a violent war between cattlemen and Cheyenne Indians. 

“The story is so well presented that it borders on non-fiction, detailing the countryside and the description of the town with great clarity. One of the most moving elements of this novel, to me, was the psychological development of Jeremiah Staggart who not only struggles with the kind of a God who would allow a horrific Civil War and the slaughter of his wife and son, but also comes to believe that a Cheyenne woman and her son are the embodiments of his murdered family. . . .For a novel that works to reveal history, emotion, and tension, Green River Saga delivers. I seldom read westerns, but this novel captured my attention and my interest” (Jack Estes, PhD, New York).
