Slaughter

By: Elmer Kelton

Narrated by: George Guidall

In the 1870s, buffalo hunters moved onto the High Plains of Texas. The Plains Indians watched hunters slaughter the animals that gave them shelter and clothing, food, and weapons. The battles at and near the ruins of a trading fort, Adobe Walls, became symbolic of the struggles between hunters and the Comanche.

Spurs of Realism Goad this Story Along...

... which i have found is not often case in Western Writing...much given to improbable shoot-em-ups. Also easy to appreciate the no-judgment zone style of Mr. Kelton as there is but the slightest tincture of the almost obligatory “white men are bad, Indians are good“ of today’s virtue signaling authors who delve into the genre. Much to the relief of this reader, there is no heavy-handed moralizing and we are allowed to estimate the characters based upon time, the situation, and the Human foibles common to every race. Again, what a refreshing change of pace from today’s politically correct slant. Mr. Guidall was well placed and did his usual superb job.
