The son
Book • 2013
The Son is a meticulously researched novel that follows the lives of three main characters from the McCullough family: Eli McCullough, the first child born in the Republic of Texas who is taken captive by the Comanche and later becomes a Texas Ranger; his son Peter, haunted by the family's history of violence; and his great-granddaughter Jeannie, the inheritor of the family fortune.
The novel delves into themes of violence, cultural identity, and the complexities of American history, particularly the interactions between white settlers and Native American tribes in Texas.
Meyer's detailed and nuanced portrayal of historical events and characters makes the book a compelling exploration of the American creation myth.
