Very highly recommended!

Elroy Peoples (a.k.a. Dr. Sam Pritchett) played a big part in young Colt Patterson's life. Peoples convinced the authorities that the cattle on the Patterson ranch had anthrax and must be slaughtered. That set events into motion. Texas Ranger Billy Dixon was tired of hunting down criminals and bringing in the heads in pickle barrels. He decided it was time to retire, marry the Widow Tucker, and relax for the rest of his days. On his last hunt for fugitives, one of which was Peoples, Billy rescued Colt from death's door. Billy took Colt on as a partner and began to teach him how to survive, Ranger style. Charley Tree had been raised by one of the Apache Tribes at the Bosque Redondo, a reservation. He declared war on all whites and began a bloody campaign. Other Apaches believed Charley insane, instead of brave, which made matters worse. The Indian Renegade felt he had a personal grudge against Billy and Colt. The two lawmen thought the same of Charley. Soon they would meet in a battle to the death. Now THIS is my type of Western! I have been a fan of a few western series like "Headhunter", "Lone Star", and "Long Arm". But, in my opinion, they pale in comparison to this book! This one is much more realistic! Author Dennis O'Keefe, for example, goes into details on how Billy teaches Colt. I witnessed how Billy taught Colt to aim without dipping the head of the pistol, how a racket of card sharks were cheating, and how to get yourself out of a tough situation while making money at the same time! This author has a new fan in me! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING!

If you read one book in your lifetime...

I don't think a single other literary work has pried open my zest for such vivid imagery and sheer emotional snap with such precision and mastery as this one did. It commanded my full attention cover to cover. Simply Awesome!

Move over McMurtry

All I can say is WOW! This has to one of the best books I have ever read. Once I picked it up I couldn't stop until I was done. If you love westerns, and even if you don't, this is one book you have to own.

An amazing work!

This book is an incredible work of fiction about the old west. It mixes humor along with brutal realism in a masterful way. This book is about a young Colt Patterson who is torn away from the innocence of his youth by a series of personal tragedies. He falls under the watchful eye of old Texas Ranger by the name of Billy Dixon. The story shows the transformation of Colt from a naive and innocent teenager to a hardened and cynical man. From the first page to the last, I couldn't put it down. The author has a way of pulling you into the story like no other that I've read in recent times. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
