Presale Extended! "Dead Horse Soup" by local author Tom Haynes is still available at the presale price of $15.00 — now through May 1, 2026. Snag yours before time runs out!

“One of the great strengths of Dead Horse Soup is that it flows directly from the accounts of Frank Barker, a young man from Keene who, in addition to participating in the gold rush, produced wonderfully written first-hand accounts of his experiences. Author Tom Haynes does a masterful job in providing the setting and context for Barker's story without ever overshadowing Barker's own narrative, perfectly describing Keene at the end of the 19th century and the stunning natural environment and dingy, raucous frontier towns Barker encountered, based in part on his own retracing of Barker's route north. The intertwined stories of the gold rush, Barker's own often brutal ordeal, and Haynes' own journey as a historian and traveler make for a wonderful read.” - Robert G. Goodby
