My Dad and Me and Jack Swilling

A Novel

De: Terry F. Torrey

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

When my dad hears the story of the life and indecent death of pioneer Jack Swilling, he goes off on a crazy old west adventure to fix the situation - and takes me with him.

After a lifetime of hard work and dreaming of the Old West, my dad has finally retired to a life in the New West, resigned to let his dreams of adventure remain only dreams. But when I get him a western-style sunset ride for his birthday, he learns the story of Jack Swilling, an Arizona pioneer who played a big part in the settlement of Phoenix, only to die in a brutal Yuma jail awaiting trial for a crime he did not commit. Now, my dad wants to retrieve Jack Swilling's bones from Yuma for a proper Christian burial. To do it, he'll have to start by figuring out where he's buried---and finish with a big western adventure. If you like clean western fiction, with a humble hero battling for simple justice on the way to ride off into the sunset, you might like My Dad and Me and Jack Swilling.
