Synopsis

Publisher's Note
Reluctantly moving with his mother and younger brother from the urban East to join his stepfather, a Kansas homesteader, Gabriel hates their primitive, harsh new life and runs away to seek adventure as a cowboy, in a coming-of-age story of a young black man in the American West of the 1870s. A first novel.

Industry reviews
"[A] moving first novel....The moral gravity of Durham's narrative is offset by his attentiveness to the primacy of nature in the Western landscape...."
New Yorker  (03/19/2001)

"The plot of GABRIEL'S STORY is somewhat schematic in its stages of departure, initiation and return, and while Marshall sounds more like Flannery O'Connor's theological misfits than a cowpoke, Durham does not romanticize the West. Nor does he demonize it."
Book - Tom LeClair
