(More customer reviews)Price's multigenerational saga that began with Hiwassee and Freedom's Altar continues in The Cock's Spur as war heroes, thugs, farmers, craftsmen, former slaves, cock fighters, fallen men and women, and moonshine kings interact with a clash of will, purpose, action, and destiny. These books are so rich, so finely textured with all the elements of good historical fiction, and Price engages the reader so completely that he causes you to examine your own need for finding meaning and seeking redemption. Hamby McFee, born into slavery and searching for his place in a post-war life of freedom, is one of the most memorable characters you will ever meet; and his personal journey, his pilgrim's progress toward understanding the meaning of loyalty, friendship, family, home, and love, is remarkably portrayed by Price with emotional depth and sensitivity seldom seen from such a perspective. I recommend you treat yourself to a real feast by reading all four novels in the order they were written: Hiwassee, Freedom's Altar, The Cock's Spur, and Where the Water-Dogs Laughed.
