THIS BOOK IS VERY GOOD. TAKES PLACE IN TEXAS AND MANY OF THE CONFLICTS CAN BE RELATED TO TODAYS LIFE. DEALS WITH OPPOSING VIEWS OF AMERICAN SETTLERS AND INDIANS. I LIKED IT ALOT.
great read
Orphaned at an early age and cheated out of his rightful inheritance, a young man seeks his fortune in a Texas settlement. He eventually courts and marries the daughter of a wealthy Mexican rancher, joining their powerful family despite his being an anglo. But when a Comanche warrior swears vengeance against both the Mexican and white settlers for crimes against his people, a clash of cultures begins. And two men will wage war to see that their culture survives. This is a well-crafted, gripping novel from a gifted storyteller who brings Texas history to life with a tale rich and adventure and high emotions."
Spur Award Finalist - good historical novel about Texas. Spans 4 decades of our American settlers and the battle by the Indians to save their land.
