Sin killer : a novel / Larry McMurtry.

McMurtry, Larry. (Author).

Summary:

It is 1830, and the Berrybender family-- rich, English, and fiercely out of place-- is on its way up the Missouri River to capitalize somehow on the countless acres for sale to the north, as the West begins to open up. Accompanied by a huge and varied collection of retainers, Lord and Lady Berrybender are joined by their children, Tasmin, a budding young woman of courage, beauty, and determination; her vivacious and difficult sister; and her brother. As they journey by rough stages up the Missouri River, they meet with all the dangers, difficulties, temptations, and awesome natural scenery of the untamed West.
