As he began to imagine the story behind the lyrics, he set out to research the song's history-a tale from along about eighteen and twenty-five of the legendary exploits of the greatest horse that ever lived, the Tennessee Stud, and his owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraveling the same route the song chronicles, from Tennessee into Arkansas, through Texas and into Mexico, Averill visited racetracks, Spanish missions, historical museums, a living history farm, and national parks, inventing characters of his own along the way. His novel captures the spirit of the ballad while telling the story of Robert Johnson, a man who holds love in his heart though adventure rules his time. Pursued by a bounty hunter, Indians, and his conscience, Johnson and his horse are tested, strengthened, and made resolute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Fox Averill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of New Mexico Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826350305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAverill, Thomas Fox:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThomas Fox Averill\u003c\/strong\u003e, a graduate of the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop, is professor of English and writer-in-residence at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of New Mexico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40201486598259,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_aaf8f360-2880-4af8-8d38-58a80a079acd.jpg?v=1656166267","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/rode-9780826350305","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
