Henry "Hank" Blankenship is seventeen years old, a senior in high school, and the proudest cowboy in Buffalo, Wyoming. He wears his boots everywhere, works cattle with his father, and spends his weekends jumping out of planes with his skydiving club. His friends say he should have been born in a prior century.
They have no idea how right they are.
When Hank jumps from ten thousand feet on a Saturday morning in May, he expects to join his teammates in a freefall formation over the Bighorn Mountains. Instead, he lands alone in a meadow along Clear Creek — in the same valley, in the same Wyoming — 154 years before he was born.
It's 1870. There is no town of Buffalo. No roads, no fences, no law. Just open range, wild country, and a sixty-four-year-old retired ranch hand named Joshua Bettington who offers a scared boy in strange clothes a plate of beans and a place to sleep.
With no way home and no hope of return, Hank does the only thing he knows how to do — he works. His modern knowledge of cattle ranching earns him a job with Herman Thamon, the biggest rancher in the valley. His skill and courage earn him a best friend in Jim Cotton, a young cowboy with big dreams. And his willingness to stand his ground earns him an enemy in Claven Clower, a bitter ranch hand whose jealousy turns dangerous when cattle start disappearing from the range.
As Hank builds a life he never planned in a world he never chose, he discovers that the real Old West is nothing like the movies. The guns are heavier. The winters are deadlier. And the cost of violence is a weight that never lifts.
But he also discovers something the movies got right — that loyalty, hard work, and the bonds between people who choose each other can build something that lasts. Even across 154 years.
Hank Blankenship and the Longest Fall is a story about growing up, letting go, and finding home in the most unexpected place.
