"Bring Me His Ears" by Clarence Edward Mulford

"Bring Me His Ears" by Clarence Edward Mulford is a novel set in the early 20th century, likely in the 1920s. This Western tale revolves around a group of characters navigating the dangers and intricacies of frontier life, with a focus on themes of loyalty, danger, and the adventurous spirit of the American West. The narrative introduces key figures such as Tom Boyd, a plainsman with a conflicting sense of identity, and Ephriam Schoolcraft, a less-than-reputable horse dealer, as they become embroiled in a tense plot involving revenge and survival. The opening of the novel establishes a vivid atmosphere in St. Louis during the 1840s, following Schoolcraft and his Mexican companion, Pedro, as they search for the elusive Tomaz Boyd. Their mission is fraught with peril; they are under orders from the cruel Governor Armijo to retrieve Boyd, who has crossed paths with him in a humiliating encounter.
