{"product_id":"9781533571700","title":"A Gathering Of Orphans (The Bayou Salade Trilogy)","description":"It is 1846, the year of the Mexican war. Ray Dobbs, a retired fur trapper and mountain man, has been engaged to guide an English nobleman's party on a hunting expedition in the North American wilderness. Ray is to meet the nobleman, Lord Edwin, and his entourage at the hunting grounds, a large basin deep in the Rocky Mountains known as Bayou Salade, present day South Park, Colorado. Ray's initial task is to bring fifty horses and a wagon load of arms, ammunition and supplies from St. Louis to the Bayou. As they traverse the prairie Ray and his native partner, Crowbait, are blessed with a series of waifs. The first is Dusty, an abused runaway. The second is Moe, an autistic savant orphaned by a massacre. The next orphan is Bluebird, a small Cheyenne girl and the last is Little Weasel, a white boy captured in infancy and raised in the same ill-fated Cheyenne band. The story is told by these youngsters. The prairie crossing is made difficult by an Indian attack, thunderstorms, a sandstorm and a bear attack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eRalph Neighbor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eAug 09, 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e146 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1533571708\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781533571700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50355390644529,"sku":"9781533571700","price":12.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781533571700__37419.jpg?v=1732341452","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781533571700","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
