Description

Toronto, ON, Canada: McClelland & Stewart, 1997. Very light edgeware - otherwise clean and unmarked. The Engishman's Boy brilliantly links together Hollywood in the 1920's with one of the bloodiest, most brutal events of the nineteenth-century Canadian West--the Cypress Hills Massacre.. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Oblong.

Book summary

A novel of the Old West and Hollywood, which was awarded the Governor General's Award in Canada in 1997. It tells the story of Shorty McAdoo, a Canadian cowboy implicated in an 1873 Indian massacre, who goes on to become a movie star in the 1920s. Portrayed as an exemplar of the American frontier by studio publicists, McAdoo has to hide the most sinister elements of his early life on the range.
