Sorrows End Bright Mountain Books Based on the real life of Henry Baker, this absorbing novel reveals a story of desperation and survival. Sorrows End is based on the real life of author Maurice Stanley's paternal grandfather. Family stories long assrted that Henry Baker had been involved with Jesse and Frank James in the Muscle Shoals payroll robbery in Alabama and perhaps others as well. Relying on historical evidence, family folklore, and some speculation, Stanley tells the gripping story of this outlaw who rode with Jesse James.
Reviews "[W]ell written, well researched....This book is definitely a page-turner and would be an excellent choice for a history buff, or a James gang fan....[T]old in great detail with a wonderful flourish...." "[A] short, live novel...as dead on target as a mountain sharpshooter. With prose as...elegant as a Seagrove pot or a Shaker chair, Sorrows End serves up the literary equivalent of folk art."
