From Amazon Publishers
New Historical Fiction Revisits the Plains of
Kansas during the Late 19th Century.
First-time author Andru Hunter looks to the past
to create a different kind of hero in The
Southern Plainsman.
The Southern Plainsman by Andru Hunter is the
story of one man’s journey to personal
greatness.
In The Southern Plainsman, T.K. Ross, a
plainsman since the Civil War, is witnessing the
westward flow of settlers. The wild ways of the
Kansas prairies are now surrendering to a new
force. The Indians are nearly subdued, and the
buffalo are becoming sparse. Longing to settle
down and make a contribution to the community,
T.K. takes his first step toward taming the rough
country of Newton, Kansas and becomes a U.S.
Marshal. With his new badge, he sets out to find
love, friendship, and a home, meeting along the
way, historical figures such as Wild Bill Hickok,
Buffalo Bill Cody, and Buffalo Billy Dixon.
While researching ancestors, the author came
across a relative who ultimately became the
inspiration for the book’s main character, and in
keeping with the theme, the author used real
historical happenings and people where possible
to construct one exceptional story. Hunter
easily captures the danger that people faced in
their everyday lives living on the plains.
Encouraging readers to research their own
history and discover how ordinary people have
extraordinary stories to tell, this novel is
wonderful addition to any home library. A
captivating read filled with excitement and
adventure, The Southern Plainsman proves
heroes are just regular people who rise to the
challenge at hand.
