Josey Wales: Two Westerns: Gone to Texas/The Vengeance Trail of Josey Wales

Two classic westerns in one paperback--The Outlaw Josey Wales and Gone to Texas--the basis of Clint Eastwood's movie The Outlaw Josey Wales. By the author of The Education of Little Tree. Josey Wales was the most wanted man in Texas. His wife and child had been lost to pre-civil War destruction and, like Jesse James and other young farmers, he joined the guerrilla soldiers of Missouri--men with no cause but survival and no purpose but revenge. Josey Wales and his Cherokee friend, Lone Watie, set out for the West through the dangerous Camanchero territory. Hiding by day, traveling by night, they are joined by an Indian woman named Little Moonlight, and rescue an old woman and her granddaughter from their besieged wagon. The five of them travel toward Texas and win through brash and honest violence, a chance for a new way of life.
