“Westward: The Journey of Adolf Nagel” is published

Two young Ohio men brave the new world and travel to the Western frontier

About the Book:

Adolf Nagel interrupted the attempted rape of his sixteen year-old fiancé by killing the son of the most influential man in Hocking County, Ohio.

Escaping certain death, Adolf and Oskar McGill, his chatty childhood friend, flee westward.

Both only seventeen, they were unaware that they were embarking on a dangerous trip full of hazards – including not only nature, but also scalp-minded Indians and bloodthirsty desperados needing killing.

About the Author:

Harry Simpson grew up in eastern Colorado during the 1950’s, which was before the age of television. For entertainment, he became an avid reader and continues this lifelong hobby in retirement.

Harry now lives in Florida and has published one novel previously entitled “I Must Survive”.

Excerpt from the Book:

“Ever westward! That was the goal of those colonizing the New World. These brave travelers followed an internal instinct no different than what drove migrating birds in the fall and spring. For many, it was the dream to own their own land. To others, it was just curiosity about the unknown. To Adolf Nagel and his faithful friend, Oskar McGill, the westward journey was driven by the need to escape. Survival required fleeing a necessary killing and the resulting fallout of hatred and revenge.

Two seventeen year old young men left their hometown for a fresh start and, unbeknownst to them, they started a legacy. Driven to escape, they began a journey that took them to Missouri then onward to the Kansas Territory.

The simplicity of youthful action was coupled with the American concept of constant advancement. The new pioneers only meant to get away, become established, and bring Adolf’s sweet Caroline to join them. Little did they know the impact they and their progeny would have on the infant United States.”
