Booker

It’s 1868, the explosive and tenacious American West, only a few, exhausting years after the passing of the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery, and the 14th Amendment, ending discrimination. It’s also a period of other overwhelming and momentous matters. Like the start of the most rapid and extensive territorial expansion the country has ever known; like the formidable reconstruction period; like the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson and the election to the Presidency of the celebrated Army General (and alcoholic) Ulysses S. Grant; like the Indian Wars, the Ku Klux Klan, the writings of Mark Twain, Bret Hart and Richard Dana; like the advent of the Railroads, land and cattle barons, Spanish-Mexican Rancheros, French vintners, outlaws, miners, squatters, trappers, homesteaders, and renegades; like illegal slavery and rampant political and economic corruption, and cowering amidst all of this, fateful products of the times, like a man named Booker.
