Excellent story

I was hooked from the first page!
There’s romance, from fighting and suspense all rolled into one.
It was really hard for me to find a stopping place.
I really think everyone will enjoy this book.

Another Masterpiece

only one problem with an Elmer Kelton novel....they eventually come to the end. Heck of a story

A pumpkin roller it’s not!

Another great story from a marvelous western story teller Elmer Kelton read by George Guidall one of the best narrators that I’ve had the pleasure to listen to. A story of coming of age in a time when growing up was fraught with many obstacles both from the land and the people that occupied it. Don’t let the title scare you off.

Excellent Western! Every minute interesting.

Good story line following a young couple. Elmer Kelton must be old school, because decency and moral integrity part of his story. No swearing, respect for marriage made this a pleasant listen. Real men who worked hard and looked out for others and tried to guide young men in a good way. Successful adult life is more about work than play, and Elmer's characters, male and female, knew how to work. Some villains. Characters who were not perfect. Some action. Interesting portrayal of cowboy life, which seemed accurate.

Narrator excellent.

Totally recommend this book.

Cowboy

I liked the time period and the western theme. The characters fit perfectly, but not enough depth in the story.
