This book is a WESTERN, but not in the "cowboys and Indians" sense. It's about the American West during the period of the Indian Wars and it is a marvelous expose' on an amazing group of characters who come to know the West and themselves in profound ways. It is not a "John Wayne shoot 'em up" type of book, but rather a thoughtful journey into the minds and hearts of people who grow up and grow past preconceived notions of right and wrong. The characters are so fully fleshed that you expect to meet them walking down the street any day of the week. You'll find yourself captivated by the reality of the characters in a way that is seldom seen in American literature. The story shows the growth of the characters through experiences that are entirely believable and historically accurate. Mr. Horgan knew and loved the American Southwest and his writing is absolutely enchanting and brilliant. He created a world that is far more truthful and noteworthy than most "westerns" of film or page and you will find yourself re-reading it constantly. I have read it dozens of times and every occasion shows me something new and wonderful in the text. Don't expect guns blazing and dance hall girls fainting, expect a solid read that will enhance your knowledge and enjoyment.
