This book, set in the mid-to-late 1800's, is about a boy who, following a family tragedy at the age of fifteen, runs away to fight in the US Civil War. During the war he befriends another boy his age and they end up becoming the marshal and deputy in the fictional Kansas town of Tornado Gulch. Following another tragedy after years of being the marshal, he decides to runaway to his hometown in Dakota Territory, where he resorts to farming and befriends a tribe of Lakota Indians. This book is a true western in every sense of the word. Duncan Sims, the protagonist in this story is a man who is a loner. He is a man who loves and loses and deals with tremendous issues, such as deaths of those he is close to and being friends with Native Americans, who the people who pay his salary don't exactly appreciate. This book was written with the intent of reaching a young adult demographic, though the story is so universal that anyone should be able to enjoy it. Author Biography Having a life based around his wife and two sons keeps Jonathan W. Howe a well-rounded person. Heroes Don't Run is the first book that Jon has written for publication after years of experience writing poetry and music. Jon lives in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis-St. Paul. He is a long time Minnesota Twins fan and a dreamer of the future and the past. Reading about the past or watching a historical documentary (or tastefully made film) is what he likes to do when he's not doing all the other things that take precedence in his life.
