The Bone Wars
The author uses lyrical passages of description and rich imagery to describe the people and land of the American West. Thad is first glimpsed by Julian from a train and described thus: His skin was burnished a deep coppery bronze. His eyes were gray-green, the color of the prairie grass, and they did not have the vacant stare of the station-platform Indians, nor the frenzied ecstasy of the gentlemen-travelers.
