Description: TWO PEOPLE rode into Pahoka City on the S.C.&W. passenger train that September day. One of them was Rich Williams, with grimy stubble on his cheeks; the brakeman shoved him off the blind baggage, and Rich strolled up the empty street to Kite's Cafe and Cookson's Bar. He looked like an ordinary bum, but he carried a gun that people couldn't see; and he had a lot of money and papers strapped inside his shirt. The other passenger was a girl with whiskey-colored hair and an Irish mouth. She descended timidly from the day coach; men looked at her ankles. Annie Lingen thought she knew where she would be spending the night, but there was a surprise in store for her. A hundred other surprises await the readers of Gentle Annie. The blustering Tatums with their angry eyes; Lucian Barrow, the ragged photographer who specializes in pictures of dead outlaws; and, above all, the Goss family — the brothers Cot and Vi, and their strange, wild mother. For the past fourteen years MacKinlay Kantor has been delighting the readers of the Saturday Evening Post and Redbook and other magazines. At the same time, he has steadily and surely built up his reputation as a serious novelist. This special edition of GENTLE ANNIE by MacKinlay Kantor has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Coward-McCann, Inc., New York, N. Y. Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., a non-profit organization established by the Council on Books in Wartime Review: Gentle Annie by MacKinlay Kantor is a historical novel set in the American Civil War. It tells the story of Annie Gwynn, a young woman who works as a nurse for both sides of the conflict. She witnesses the horrors of war, but also finds love and friendship along the way. Kantor's writing is vivid and realistic, capturing the emotions and experiences of his characters. He also explores the themes of courage, loyalty, and compassion in a time of violence and chaos. Gentle Annie is a moving and memorable book that deserves to be read by anyone interested in American history or human nature.
