Wholesale The End of the Legend of Jared Snead - Paperback

by Theron Montgomery (Author) In 1971, Army Ranger Beck Senecal is denied a third tour in Vietnam after being driven through a second tour by his rage and grief and a desire to avenge the KIA of his best and hometown friend, U.S. Marine Foster Odom. But, in so doing, he blindly broke his promise to return to his girlfriend, Marica. Now, Marcia is engaged to someone else and Beck has no closure. He reluctantly takes his Freedom Bird flight to California, is discharged, doesn't call home and decides on a long train ride to Mobile, Alabama, where an old high school friend surprises him and gives him a lift to their largely rural community of Fermata Bend, Alabama--back to the tradition, values and sense of being worthy of others that was imparted upon him from the community and the veterans that he, Foster and other boys grew up under, all epitomized by the older veteran leader and icon, Jared Snead, "The Teller of the Tales," who played an old piano, told American history, local history and other stories, ran the hunting club, held forth as the emcee at all the veterans' balls at the old town armory and led all the parades around the town square.
