Quirky characters and dramatic events reveal the complex and dangerous dynamics of contemporary society on the brink of momentous changes. Coming home from a war is no easy matter, and if you are an inherently unlucky individual like the protagonist, it gets even more complicated. No longer interested in the things that still center his friends, he walks away from job and home looking for warmth and some vague idea of connection, only to fall into a series of events that spirals out of his control. Riding Shotgun into the Promised Land follows his search for a relevant place in contemporary society and a world rapidly changing, a quest that takes him along the 19th century's pathway to prosperity in the Promised Land: the Oregon Trail.

About the Author I was born and raised in Oregon. My great-grandfather and grandmother homesteaded there in 1872, so in a way the novel is concerned with how the present has been shaped by the past and various immigrants. Also, one grandfather came to Oregon via California from up-state New York, and to fund his travels up from Sacramento (an ironic name in this case) he founded “God’s Religious Army.” Holding tent meetings along the route, he relied “upon the kindness of strangers.” However, near Grants Pass his wife died, and this is where he met and married my grandmother. So, I am also interested in the ways that fortune brings families together, tears them apart, and then reconstitutes new families out of the old: the past in the present again. I am also a Vietnam veteran and curious about the ways military experiences a long way from home work their ways into our society, for good or for ill. Under all these interests and curiosities, though, is a deep concern about the future of our environment, which has borne the brunt of the transplanted ideologies our ancestors brought with them as they immigrated here looking for “The Promised Land.” How, I would ask, can we avoid the damage done by short-term desires meeting an ecosystem based upon stability and change that takes place over long periods of time?

Great mid-western book By Patty I didn't order the book through amazon (I went directly to the publisher's website and got it there) but this is a great book. I was a little scared to read it at first because I am not a big fan of the genre of western writing, but this book is refreshing in it's truthful, lazy style of colorful depictions and thoughtful inner discourses, as well as the witty, sometimes biting, humor and the very beautiful look at self. A great book; fun to read and definitely refreshing.Mr. Purdy does a great job of telling a story without shoving it down your throat; like a delicious cup of tea on a chilly morning.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Northwest Title, Recommended! By JeffersonStateReader I was able to read an advance copy of John Lloyd Purdy's novel from the publisher. The book is well written and most of the story line takes place in the Pacific Northwest. Some tongue in cheek, great descriptions, wonderful character dialogue and a modern look at the complexity of the problems plaguing Northwesterners.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Promised Land Revealed By Page Turner The Oregon Trail opened the west and brought settlers and pioneers... Purdy shows us the modern view of the "Promised Land" that those settlers had reached for, silver lining and warts included and he doesn't sidestep the issues that all of us in the Northwest deal with everyday.
