Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Blakely is more than an author. I couldn't put this book down. It has history that should be required reading for every high school student to learn about the western plains tribes and the Europeans moving in. Blakely weaves classical music through battles, philosophy from both the European and Indian cultures, descriptions of horses used for buffalo hunting and battle, warfare from the Comanche and white perspective with conversations from the leaders of both sides, nature studies in plants and geography. Where else would you find a protagonist that is ugly, short and plays a Stradivarius violin for pleasure. He speaks several languages and teaches his Cheyenne wife to read and write.
This is the second book in his trilogy and I can't wait for the third one. No other author can put so much literature in a book that is called a Western. This should rank with Mark Twain and other classic writers.
