In the Fur West, Chris Gashud rises from cat-raised orphan to
become the leader of the first cat-herding drive in the Old West.
During the early years, the multitudinous cats ford the mighty
Mississippi, cause towns to burn, and drive people insane with
their loud mating. In between ambushes by Norwegian and Mexican
bandits, Chris falls in love with Marie, survivor of the massacre
of French tennis-resort builders. Ten years later, a tough-and-lean
herd of six-million cats takes on rat-infested San Francisco in a
rousing climactic battle. This hilarious novel abounds with all the
best elements the modern discerning reader expects from cat-drive
yarns: fur balls, sushi, ear plugs, catapults, literary festivals,
tornadoes, catnip withdrawal, the Texas-Tea Posse, and Big Foot.
THE FUR WEST "Reading The Fur West makes me glad that I grew up to
be a cat-hating, dog loving son of a gun. Paul De Lancey has taken
some serious liberties with the history of The Old West, and isn't
that the way it should be?" - Gordon Kirkland, Author, Syndicated
Humor Columnist & Entertainer "Of all the Western novels that
litter the landscape, only The Fur West truly evokes the majesty,
heartbreak and triumph associated with driving thousands of cats
across the hostile landscape of the Old West. Paul De Lancey's opus
is a literary and felisological triumph." - Mark A. Clements,
award-winning author of The Land of Nod "Step aside, McMurtry. Only
Paul De Lancey could dream up such a hair-raising tale as The Fur
West or so boldly challenge established American history." - Ken
Kuhlken, author of Tom Hickey mysteries. "Whenever I''m at a
writing conference and I hear peals of late night laughter, I know
that Paul DeLancey is reading one of his pieces. Paul''s original
voice resonates with listeners and readers. Once you read him, be
prepared to join the mirthful chorus." - Alan Russell,
award-winning author of Multiple Wounds
