Produktbeschreibung
It's 1865, and a band of renegade deserters left over from the American Civil War abduct newlywed Judith Johansen and head to the wilds of Rupert's Land, soon to become Western Canada. They are about to find out that they have made a huge mistake. Judith is the granddaughter of Moses Munro, a wily old mountain man who survived as a trapper in the Rocky Mountains during the 1820s and '30s. When Moses finds out that Judith has been kidnapped, he-along with his son Captain William Munro (Judith's father) who has just returned home from serving in the Civil War, and his grandson Jimmy (Judith's younger brother)-head out on the trail, hellbent on rescuing her. And no matter how far they need to ride, or what they encounter along the way, they will not stop until they have brought Judith safely back home. "While the main characters in The Long Ride are fictional, the background details in the story are historically accurate: Governor William McTavish, the Indigenous tribes, the places, the trails, the forts, even the dilapidated scow of a ferry at Fort Garry! I'm hoping this book will whet the reader's appetite for learning more about this fascinating time in Western Canadian history, while enjoying a rollicking adventure story with plenty of action." - Del

Autorenporträt
Del Pratt is a semi-retired cattle rancher. He and his wife Sheila live on the ranch that his family homesteaded in 1910, northeast of Oyen Alberta. Along the way Del has trained horses, driven school buses, spent a winter chaining seismic lines (before GPS), drove ambulances, ran a custom fencing business, and worked as a seed specialist for a forage seed company, all to raise a family and support his ranching habit. Del has written and performed cowboy poetry since 2009, and his first novel The Long Ride was published in 2023.
