22. Butcher's Crossing (1960) by John Williams

Will Andrews drops out of Harvard to pursue an idyllic adventure of the American west and its countryside. He head's to Butcher's Crossing, Kansas hoping to link up to one of J.D. McDonald's hunting parties for a perusal through the country. Instead he accompanies a rough hunter named Miller in search of this El Doradoesque hunting land high in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The rag tag team of Miller, Andrews, Charley Hoge and Fred Schneider will come face-to-face with greed and survival. We're asking the tough questions. How much is too much? What does it say about us if our antagonists are the voice of reason? What do we do when we journey into adulthood and become the person that we didn't think we would be? Jason Crockett joins us as we answer these and more.A Deadman's Books theme song: Surfing! by automaticbananas Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
