Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Seven men entered the sacred hills seeking a fortune. Only the mountain knows why none returned.It is 1833, decades before the California Gold Rush would transform the American West. While the rest of the world remains oblivious to the riches hidden within the Paha Sapa, seven desperate men-driven by the fever of forbidden wealth-venture into the heart of the Black Hills. Led by the enigmatic French-Canadian guide Joseph deLacompt, the party includes Ezra Kind, an eighteen-year-old runaway fleeing his father's shadow, and a volatile mix of war veterans, gamblers, and grief-stricken miners. They are trespassers in a sacred land, fueled by New Orleans capital and a hunger that blinds them to the danger that is closing in.In Seven Lost Men, the promise of gold is a siren song that leads straight into a frozen purgatory.As the expedition navigates the treacherous Missouri River and the unforgiving plains, the internal friction of the group becomes as lethal as the elements. When they finally strike a massive vein of gold, their triumph is short-lived. Trapped by a brutal winter and hunted by the Lakota Sioux-who view their presence as a blood-deep desecration-the men find themselves caught between an indifferent wilderness and their own mounting paranoia. The dream of a kingdom in the mountains quickly devolves into a harrowing survival thriller where the cost of greed is paid in bone and breath.In the tradition of The Revenant and Blood Meridian, J.E. McClellan delivers a gritty, fatalistic Western that explores the dark side of the American dream. This is not a tale of triumph, but a visceral account of the weight of the past and the crushing reality of frontier justice. Based on the haunting historical mystery of the 'Thoen Stone,' this novel breathes life into the final, desperate message carved into sandstone by men who realized too late that some treasures are better left buried.Why readers are drawn to this tragic Western: - A Gritty Survival Thriller: Experience the raw, visceral struggle against grizzly bears, starvation, and the relentless cold of the 1830s wilderness.- Complex Characters: From the morally conflicted deLacompt to the pious, grieving Tom Brown, follow a cast of men pushed to their absolute psychological limits.- Rich Historical Detail: A deeply researched look at the pre-Gold Rush era, the sacred traditions of the Lakota, and the brutal reality of early frontier life.- Atmospheric Prose: Immerse yourself in a landscape that is both majestic and terrifyingly indifferent to human ambition.The mountain demands a tithe. Will you pay it in gold, or will you pay it in blood Secure your copy of Seven Lost Men today and journey into the heart of the Black Hills.…
