Leaving Kansas (Harrison Wilke Trilogy Book 1)

Available again for the first time in nearly 30 years, Frank Roderus's classic novel LEAVING KANSAS is the compelling story of a young man who considers himself born in the wrong time and place. Living on a Kansas cattle ranch, Harrison Wilke believes that he was destined for better things, more civilized things than life on the frontier during the last fading days of the Old West. Harrison's efforts to make that dream a reality lead him into nothing but trouble as he encounters rustlers, schemers, and a group of hard-faced men with a lynch rope . . .

LEAVING KANSAS won the prestigious Spur Award from the Western Writers of America as the Best Western Novel of the Year. It's the first of the Harrison Wilke trilogy from acclaimed, best-selling author Frank Roderus, which continues in REACHING COLORADO and FINDING NEVADA, both forthcoming from the Western Fictioneers Library, proud publishers of the very best in hard-hitting Western fiction.
