Here is the fascinating story of Johannes Verne, a young man left to die by his vengeful grandfather, rescued by outlaws and raised in part by the Indians of the desert. Strengthened by the love of two women&#8212;Miss Nesselrode, whose mysterious past fires her ambitions for the future and Meghan, a willful young beauty&#8212;Verne grows to become a rugged adventurer, a man strong enough to embrace the awesome power of the Palm Springs desert, and bold enough to stake a claim in the bustling world of opportunity that was early-day Los Angeles. 2486214 1983 The Lonesome Gods total:952|5:345|4:368|3:202|2:31|1:6| 952 3871 1145 151 5 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 10:25:55 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 30 16:37:48 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sun Nov 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 16 23:44:51 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 16 23:51:40 -0800 2008 A Thomas Jefferson Education."
