Kain takes readers on a riveting journey through the annals of American history with his latest release, A Story About a Man Called Ants: Once a Cowboy”. Set against the backdrop of the United States’ western movement, Kain meticulously weaves a tale that blends historical accuracy with compelling characters.

In this captivating historical novel, Kain introduces readers to the town of River Fork, a place that may not have existed, but mirrors the many towns that rose, fell, and vanished during the western expansion. The narrative delves into the horror of the Wilderness battles, the avarice of cotton merchants, and the poignant stories of Native American nations.

Forest Service and the 7th Infantry Division in Korea, enrich the authenticity of his storytelling. Hie engaging anecdotes extend beyond the pages, including his adventures with Smoky the Bear and with his faithful 4-legged companion, Hurrikain Harley.

Kain’s book challenges the conventional narrative of the Civil War, revealing skirmishes west of the Mississippi and south of the Red River that often go unnoticed.
