As this final volume of "The Berrybender Narratives" opens, Tasmin
and her family are under irksome, though comfortable, arrest in
Mexican Santa Fe. Her father, the eccentric Lord Berrybender, is
planning to head for Texas with his whole family and his retainers.
Tasmin, who would once have followed her husband, Jim Snow,
anywhere, is no longer even sure she likes him, or knows where to
go to next.
In the meantime, Jim Snow, accompanied by Kit Carson, journeys
to New Orleans, where he meets up with a muscular black giant named
Juppy in whose company they make their way back to Santa Fe. But
even they are unable to prevent the Mexicans from carrying the
Berrybender family on a long and terrible journey across the desert
to Vera Cruz.
Starving, dying of thirst, and in constant, bloody battle with
slavers pursuing them, the Berrybenders finally make their way to
civilization, where Jim Snow has to choose between Tasmin and the
great American plains, on which he has lived all his life in
freedom, and where, after all her adventures, Tasmin must finally
decide where her future lies.
With a cast of characters that includes almost every major
real-life figure of the West, "Folly and Glory" is a novel that
represents the culmination of a great and unique four-volume saga
of the early days of the West; it is one of Larry McMurtry's finest
achievements.
