Lebanon, MO, January 31, 2023 –(
CarryOnHarry.com)– Ralph Pendergrass, who grew up working on his family’s farm and later spent his career in the construction industry, has completed his new book, “A Legend in Time”: a gripping tale that explores what life was like as America expanded out into the wild and untamed western plains.
“The westward movement holds a special place in many American hearts. Within the bindings of this book lie stories of struggles and sacrifices. Adversity and adventure. Love and laughter. Life and death,” writes Pendergrass. “Our story begins with one such man in old age sharing stories to his grandson of what it cost his family to help tame the American West and build for the future. Within his stories lies firsthand accounts of the days of old. The old west when the west was really wild. Of friends and foes, outlaws, and Indians. From poverty to prosperity. Gallant and heroic acts of survival and sacrifice. Last but not least herein lies the story of a man and his horse. He and this magnificent stallion both faster in more ways than one ride off into folklore and legend with a massive fortune of gold and seven outlaws hot on they’re trail.
“As a dark silhouette sat motionless in the saddle of life upon his tall dark horse in the light of a full moon. High on a bald hill he sat, ‘silent,’ ‘patiently waiting,’ casting a soft shadow on the hard ground below. The only peace this silhouette would find would only be found by his own admission. ‘At the point of dying.’”
