Всадник без головы

Writer Mine Reed has always been distinguished by a thirst for adventure and new experiences. An avid traveler and a brave soldier, an excellent rider and a good marksman, a talented poet and publisher - all this was surprisingly combined in one person. The novel "The Headless Horseman" is rightfully considered one of the best works of the adventure genre. A skillfully constructed plot, colorful characters and an indescribable atmosphere of Texas in the 50s of the XIX century keep the reader in suspense until the very last page. The daughter of a wealthy planter and estate owner, Louise, fell in love with a poor mustanger, Maurice Gerald. One night they arrange a secret meeting, but it is at this time that the girl's brother, Henry, disappears without a trace. After some time, Maurice is found in the clothes of a young man with traces of a struggle on his body. The crowd is ready to lynch Gerald, but then the main witness of the crime appears - the mystical Headless Horseman.
