Frontier / by Canxue,1953-author.(CARDINAL)775742; Gernant, Karen,translator.(CARDINAL)780503; Chen, Zeping,1953-translator.(CARDINAL)690010;
"Frontier opens with the story of Liujin, a young woman heading out on her own to create her own life in Pebble Town, a somewhat surreal place at the base of Snow Mountain where wolves roam the streets and certain enlightened individuals can see and enter a paradisiacal garden. Exploring life in this city (or in the frontier) through the viewpoint of a dozen different characters, some simple, some profound, Can Xue's latest novel attempts to unify the grand opposites of life--barbarism and civilization, the spiritual and the material, the mundane and the sublime, beauty and death, Eastern and Western cultures."--

Frontier [large print] by Salzer, Susan K.,author.(CARDINAL)396459;
"The epic saga of the heroic pioneers who struggled and fought, lived and died, to stake their claim on the untamed American frontier ... Former army scout Jack Gregory returns from battle to a homestead in ruins. A wanted man with no place to go, he chooses an even deadlier career--as a scout for General George Armstrong Custer. Under a new name, Jack serves bravely in the Seventh Cavalary. But when Custer's disastrous leadership ends in devastating slaughter, Jack sets off to forge his own destiny. Winning a small ranch in a card game, he hopes to settle down and live a peaceful life. But with the Cheyenne nation rising up to defend their land--with nightly raids on innocent settlers--there can be no peace for a scout like Jack. Only a man of his experience is skilled enough to infiltrate Cheyenne territory. Only an outcast with nothing to lose is crazy enough to face their war chief--man to man, one on one" --Amazon.com.

Frontier [large print] : by Salzer, Susan K.,author.(CARDINAL)396459;
Reeling from the sudden death of his wife, Daniel Dixon returns to Wyoming's Powder River country to start anew. It's the end of the nineteenth century and the Indians are gone. The growing city of Buffalo, just a stone's throw from the ruins of Fort Phil Kearny, seems a peaceful place to start a medical practice and raise his sons, Harry and Cal, and his willful daughter, Lorna. But the peace Dixon seeks eludes him. Johnson County is soon engulfed in a bloody range war that will draw in the Dixon family in ways he could never have imagined. When the wealthy cattle barons and their hired guns invade, vowing to eliminate anyone who dares stand in their way, the Dixons and Billy Sun, the half-breed Indian boy Lorna loves, must find the strength to confront the violent men whose greed threatens their way of life.
