Larry McMurtry - introduction

The story of Jack Crabbe, raised by both a white man and a Cheyenne chief. As a Cheyenne, Jack ate dog, had four wives, and saw his people butchered by General Custer’s soldiers. As a white man, he participated in the slaughter of the buffalo and tangled with Wyatt Earp.

This audio achievement begins with narrator David Aaron Baker portraying writer Ralph Fielding Snell, who is about to interview a man who claims he participated in the Battle of the Little Big Horn.

Scott Sowers then narrates the bulk of the story as 111-year-old Jack Crabb. Sowers’s even pace and gritty voice makes the old-timer’s amazing, slang-filled story vibrantly clear. Sowers perfectly captures Crabb’s mercurial disposition and compellingly recounts his many adventures–as a Cheyenne warrior, white man, drunk, merchant, gambler, miner, mule driver, gunslinger, soldier, and more.

Henry Strozier reads the essay by Larry McMurtry at the end in a deep, comfortable voice that offers listeners a chance to reflect on the significance of this American classic. M.M.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2015,
