About this listen

Spring Warren breaks onto the literary scene with a remarkable debut novel. This often comic picaresque follows Edward Turrentine Bayard III, who deserts his upper-class family and moves to Nebraska. Soon he finds trouble - and a Pinkerton agent following his every move.

Unfortunately for Ned, there is no such place, it was a con, and he is left to survive by skinning buffalo. Various people take advantage of the naiive young man, as he tries to make his way in the world.

Poor old Ned
