The Last Post!.. on only the last four pages..
It Begins as always about Lamar's thoughts and recollections. This one is where he knows that he owes his wife so much. He also told a little girl that was trying to act as a reporter that the crime problems are caused by the dealers and buyers of drugs, whether the buyer is a lawyer or a hobo.He also is concerned with the way old people look as if they have no idea of that got to be where they are today. After leaving his last day at work he realizes he has a bitter feeling because he had been defeated. In the last chapter it is just Lamar's thoughts on what I believe is the legacy he'll leave behind. he compares what he wants to do to a man that had made a stone water trough over 200 years ago. It seems like he wants to do some thing that will stand the test of time. He also talks about how he wishes he thought about his father more. How his father had been a great horse breaker and seller. He said that he was probably a better man than his father however bad it is to say. The Novel ends when he retells a dream he had of his dad. They were riding on horseback through a dark passage in the mountains and his dad pulled ahead of him with a horn of fire leading the way. Lamar knew, "That he was goin on ahead and that he was fixin to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold and I knew that whenever I got there he would be there." I would recommend this book to anyone interested as it is a really easy read and a good book. It does get confusing at times but most of it clears up in time.
