The Chisholm Trail

The Trail Drive, Book 3

By: Ralph Compton

Narrated by: Scott Sowers

Armed with only a Colt rifle, a Bowie knife, and courage as big as the West, Ten Chisholm—the bold, illegitimate son of frontier scout and plains ambassador Jesse Chisholm and a Cherokee woman—arrives in the heart of Comanche country with a price on his head. His only crime: loving the beautiful daughter of a powerful New Orleans gambler who has promised her to a wealthy man she hates.

Now that Ten has returned to the harsh Texas brakes with a team of battle-toughened cowboys and ex-soldiers—and a vow to return to Priscilla and make her his wife—he must round up wild longhorns, ward off angry Comanches, and survive treacherous outlaw attacks as he crosses the Red River and sets off on a brazen quest to open a new trail to Kansas on the savage frontier.

Critic reviews

“Lovers of Louis L'Amour type westerns will welcome a new paperback series written by Ralph Compton.” —Nashville Banner

Not a bad story for a sixteen year old boy

l enjoyed this book. I liked Tan and Prsialla. I liked Matt and his loyalty to Tan . I wish there was more about Jeff Chispm.

not as much about the actual Chisholm Trail

not as much about the Chisholm Trail as I expected. more about the story of Ten Chisholm, Jesse Chisholm's son.

Disappointed

Some of the story is missing. Some characters were suddenly in the story leaving me asking "Who is she? Where did he come from? What happened to that guy? How did they suddenly get there?"
Too much has been edited out.
Sorry I bought this audio book cannot recommend it at all.
