In Robert Coover's vision of their Western adventures, Huck and Tom start by joining the famous but short-lived Pony Express. Tom becomes something of a hero and decides he'd rather own civilization than escape it, returning east to get a wife and a law degree. But Huck stays alone in the Territory; he guides wagon trains, scouts for both sides in the war, wrangles horses on a Chisholm Trail cattle drive, joins a bandit gang, finds an ill-fated pal in an army fort and another in a Lakota Sioux tribe, and eventually finds himself in the Black Hills just ahead of the 1876 Gold Rush. In the course of his adventures, Huck reunites with Tom, Jim, and Becky Thatcher and faces some hard truths and harder choices. 517 $aHuck Out West 610 $aSawyer, Tom (Fictitious Character) 610 $aFinn, Huckleberry (Fictitious Character) 610 $aFiction 610 $aLiterature And Fiction 676 $a813/.54 700 $aCoover$b Robert$f1932-$0448758 702 $aSummerer$b Eric Michael$4nrt 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910155616003321 996 $aHuck Out West : A Novel$93600461 997 $aUNINA
