Tom Hobson knows that there is more to life than crops or steers.  This tall, strong man has a dream and he intends to earn it in B. L. Strong’s The Dream, The Man. 

From a lonely life on the prairie through the crashing onslaught of the Civil War, Tom stays true to the beliefs with which he was raised.  He was taught to work hard, to treat the land and the people with respect, and to stand up for what is right. 

Set in the days when the United States was a young, growing country, The Dream, The Man is the story of Tom’s journey.  As Tom faces bullies, loneliness, the Civil War, a stampede and evil men in pursuit of money, power and revenge, he invokes the American virtues of old.   

It is a saga of courage, optimism and hope.  This is the fabric from which rose America.
