BSA Shane - Audiobook CD
Shane.Shane a mysterious traveller and ex-gunfighter enters into the life of Joe Starrett and his family and carves a place for himself in their hearts. Although he tries to leave his gunslinging past behind revealing little about himself and refusing to even carry a gun the family senses a quiet tension about him like a slow-burning fuse. In the end Shane decides to fight cattle baron Luke Fletcher and hired gun Stark Wilson in order to break the power of the cattlemen over the homesteaders and save Joe Starretts farm. The story is told through the eyes of young Bob Starrett who regards Shane with an awe and reverence tempered by the boyishness of the Old West.Features.Audio CD.Publisher: Blackstone Audio Inc.; Unabridged edition (June 1 2010) .Language: English.About the Author.JACK WARNER SCHAEFER (1907-1991) was born in Cleveland Ohio studied at Oberlin College and Columbia University and was a career journalist and editor.
