The Great Divide
(eBook)
Description
Captain (Cap) Lincoln Washington Hutchins III is 26 years old in standard years, but the war in Vietnam robbed him of many things beside his youth. Leaving the Army as a Captain, he goes home to Houston to find parents that argue over nothing, a girlfriend who cheats on him, and people who think he's nothing more than another Mexican.Tired of the hassle, he gets in bar fights, is thrown in jail weekly, and ends up being cut up so bad he lays up in the VA hospital in Louisiana. His sole possession is his 1961 Ford stepside pickup and leaving Texas behind, he heads for Utah and a chance to start over. What he finds instead are abusive husbands and willing wives who find his many bullet and shrapnel scars wonderfully exciting. An old cowhand takes him under his wing and for the first time since getting back from Nam, Cap becomes productive.This is a story of a man trying to reconnect to his Lakota Sioux heritage by doing the right thing in a time when blacks, Jews, Mexicans, and Indians are looked at as less than first class and he proves them wrong.
