Three Rode

A brand new adventure from Glenn A. Bruce! Before Lawrence Jefferson Taylor became western “fixer” Honcho, he grew up in Natchez, Mississippi, under the tutelage of a wise blacksmithing grandfather, a racist father, a wild older brother nicknamed “Menace,” and a wife-beating uncle. In Three Rode, those lessons converge to make for some tough years for young Lawrence as he navigates his way around guns, liquor, crime, and women—not always to the best ends. After one such unfortunate incident with a powerful magnate’s daughter, Lawrence is banished from his home place and sets out for the West where he hopes to become his own man, someday. Along the way, he adds feisty tomboy Helen and runaway slave Cyrus as they face fire, lynching, stampede, bushwhackers, U.S. Marshals, and a flood. After several close calls with death, Lawrence begins to define himself as a fierce-hearted, morally grounded fighter for right as he continues west, headed for Nacogdoches, Texas, and an uncertain future. Three Rode is an action-packed prequel to He Rode, in which a young Lawrence Taylor sets out at eighteen to discover the world and himself, facing one dangerous escapade after another with his two new friends, all of which will eventually shape him as a champion of those in dire trouble and a man of strong character who will forever carry the scars of his past.
