In what was advertised as O'Donnell's first novel, "Blood On The Republican" was entertaining though a bit short in length. As a native Nebraskan living in Kansas, I found the geographic setting superbly detailed and the historical background rich in detail. I also found the main character, Lute North or "Little Chief," to be interesting and engaging. My only disappointment was the final confrontation between the book's two main adversaries - it was a bit anti-climatic. I also would have liked to see an Afterword containing the author's comments on the actual history behind the book.Overall, I found this book carrying me away to the plains in search of hostile Cheyennes. I hope the author continues the adventures of Lute North!
