A BOOK EVERYONE SHOULD READ

The book that everyone should read is the Legend of the Falls. It is one of my favorite books. The author of this story is Jim Harrison. This story is about three brothers, Alfred, Tristan, and Samuel, who live on a ranch in Montana with there father. Everything was great until the youngest brother decide to go and fight in the war. So all three brothers go. It was very sad when the Samuel dies in war. Alfred and Samuel return home but since Tristan saw his brother Samuel die he was traumatize.Tristan survives physically but emotionally he never fully recovers. So Tristan leaves the ranch and travel the world.Years later he returns to his father's ranch to find that his brother has married the wife of his younger brother Samuel. Alfred ends up a senator for Montana; Tristan remarries and takes over running the family ranch. Things go very well for everyone for a time. He is deeply in love with his new wife and they have several children. He makes his father's ranch a success. Returning from a trip to town with his wife's shopping and with several carloads of newly illegal whiskey Tristan is stopped by federal agents along a narrow stretch of road. The agents fire several shots into the air and calmly inform Tristan and his men that they will have to surrender the whiskey they are smuggling. Then they all see that Tristan's wife sits dead in the front seat of the car; a bullet ricocheted from somewhere into her forehead. This second round of loss moves Tristan to another round violent revenge and to life on the run as an outlaw smuggling whiskey. After losing his brother and wife. He feels that he should of been taken. Life goes on for him. He ended up dieing at a very old age. I think everyone should read this book because it shows that when you lose the people that are close to you life still goes on, you have to strong fro your family.
