HOW THE WEST WAS REALLY WON is revealed in this continuing Saga of two Irish emigrant families, the Magoffins and the Dwyers. Through their eyes and experiences of the Texas fight for independence from Mexico, and the Mexican American War, the necessary steps required for American expansion West to the Pacific Ocean and California is made clear from an historical perspective. The Magoffins and Dwyers were there as witnesses and critical participants in those dramatic events.
BUTTERFIELD ROAD is filled with action and romance. It is an age-old story, a true story at its core, of triumph over tragedy, of the fight against tyranny and oppression, and for liberty, freedom, and even survival. A heritage story of History and Fiction Genre, a timeline of many real and fictional events and characters unfolds in an unabashed description of how the United States of America accomplished its Manifest Destiny arriving at an historic finish line, the completed expansion Westward to the Pacific Ocean. Part 1 of the duology, ASCENDANCY, has brought the familiar Magoffin and Dwyer families from a turbulent Ireland as part of the great diaspora to America, circa 1800. By 1830 these families cross paths again in New Orleans, Louisiana and are preparing to embark for new opportunity in Mexico and the Mexican state of Texas. BUTTERFIELD ROAD begins here and describes the turbulent times of American expansion experienced by these two real Irish American clans who fought for and found peace and prosperity in a new world that they created for themselves. BUTTERFIELD ROAD is exceptional in its scope and historic impact. However, it is not an uncommon American heritage story, and illustrates the strength of human character, courage, and perseverance required for normal people and families to overcome great adversity in order to live their American adventure and establish their American Dreams. To my sweetheart, Angelina, my friend and patron who makes it all possible. For giclee print inquires, please contact me at: http: //www.kwoodfineart.com, or email me at kwoodtexasart@yahoo.com.
