It celebrates the ones we hear nothing of: the brave women whose hearts and minds were broken by a life of bitter hardship. A “homesman” must be found to escort a handful of them back East to a sanitarium. When none of the county’s men steps up, the job falls to Mary Bee Cuddy—ex-teacher, spinster, indomitable and resourceful. Brave as she is, Mary Bee knows she cannot succeed alone. The only companion she can find is the low-life claim jumper George Briggs. Thus begins a trek east, against the tide of colonization, against hardship, Indian attacks, ice storms, and loneliness—a timeless classic told in a series of tough, fast-paced adventures.In an unprecedented sweep, Glendon Swarthout’s novel won both the Western Writers of America’s Spur Award and the Western Heritage Wrangler Award. A new afterword by the author’s son Miles Swarthout tells of his parents Glendon and Kathryn’s discovery of and research into the lives of the oft-forgotten frontier women who make The Homesman as moving and believable as it is unforgettable. My first thought: of course, what WOULD families do with members who were unable to cope? Physical illness--yes, those problems could be addressed and the people taken care of in some manner. But coping with mental instability--what problems under the very extenuating circumstances of life on the frontier!I am 93 years old and the author used words that I heard my grandfather speak--he was a farmer and some words relating to carriages, crops, and livestock are long gone. So interesting to see them in print Very well researched, Id say!Swarthouts unusual voice (for example--mixing lyrical passages with the crude observations of Briggs) is a true delight to read.And now a film--I hope Tommy Lee Jones gets it and the film does justice to the book.
