Ames is the son of an Iowan preacher and the grandson of a minister who, as a young man in Maine, saw a vision of Christ bound in chains and came west to Kansas to fight for abolition: He "preached men into the Civil War," then, at age fifty, became a chaplain in the Union Army, losing his right eye in battle. Reverend Ames writes to his son about the tension between his father--an ardent pacifist--and his grandfather, whose pistol and bloody shirts, concealed in an army blanket, may be relics from the fight between the abolitionists and those settlers who wanted to vote Kansas into the union as a slave state. And he tells a story of the sacred bonds between fathers and sons, which are tested in his tender and strained relationship with his namesake, John Ames Boughton, his best friend's wayward son. This is also the tale of another remarkable vision--not a corporeal vision of God but the vision of life as a wondrously strange creation. It tells how wisdom was forged in Ames's soul during his solitary life, and how history lives through generations, pervasively present even when betrayed and forgotten. 586 $a Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 2005. 650 0 $a Conflict of generations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Reminiscing in old age $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Children of clergy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers and sons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grandfathers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Clergy $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Kansas $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Clergy $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Fathers and sons $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Children of clergy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855328 650 7 $a Clergy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864014 650 7 $a Conflict of generations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00874815 650 7 $a Fathers and sons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921899 650 7 $a Grandfathers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00946347 650 7 $a Reminiscing in old age. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094438 651 7 $a Kansas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204323 650 7 $a Conflict of generations $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Memory $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Old age $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Children of clergy $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Father-son relationship $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Grandfathers $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Clergy $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a Kansas $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Epistolary fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Christian fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Christian fiction. 655 4 $a Domestic fiction. 655 4 $a Christian fiction. 655 7 $a Christian fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726556 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Epistolary fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726597 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Christian fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Roman ameÌricain $y 21e sieÌcle. $2 ram 655 7 $a Christian fiction. $2 unknown 830 0 $a Gilead ; $v bk. 1. 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0617/2004047063-s.html 856 41 $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0617/2004047063-s.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/bios/hol058/2004047063.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/hol053/2004047063.html 856 42 $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/bios/hol058/2004047063.html 856 42 $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/hol053/2004047063.html 941 $a 8 $n 1 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20211227101009.0 $n 10 952 $l TBPD706 $d 20210621163649.0 $n 10 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20210614104426.0 $n 6 952 $l RAPD371 $d 20210614102326.0 $n 3 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20210607152213.0 $n 3 $p +CD 952 $l FJPC224 $d 20210603161512.0 $n 20 952 $l FTPA274 $d 20210603150831.0 $n 18 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210603142037.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=29F8AA3EAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
