Wiregrass Country Review

This was a great novel about Florida in the developing years of the early 1800's. Has a lot of history and exciting action, along with a beautiful love story set in the Florida Panhandle. If you like westerns and want to see how Florida pioneers handled the cattle industry in the early years, then this one is for you!

An informative view of Early Life in Florida

I enjoyed this story about early life in Florida very much. The authors captured the essence of what the early settlers in Florida must have lived through. The story was fun and easy reading, and I am looking forward to the sequel.

This is a great book!!!!!

This book was very informative and entertaining. The authors did an excellent job of painting a vivid picture of what survival in Florida must have been like in its early beginnings. The Dover family is very likeable...I look forward to the sequel to this excellent book.

Very informative and entertaining historical fiction.

Fans of Patrick Smith will also delight in this novel revolving around the beginning of the cattle industry in Florida. The authors keep the reader constantly entertained with interesting characters and authentic historical facts. The story is very realistic and paints a very believable story of early Florida. As the writers weave a very interesting story, the reader can easily visualize the beauty of undisturbed nature. At the same time, the results of lawlessness are depicted but without graphic violence. Hopefully these new authors will soon provide us with another book. Meantime, readers will wait anxiously to find out what the future holds for the Dover family, their friends and their enemies.

Very informative about life long ago for Florida cattlemen

The Chapmans portray the early Florida cattlemen and their families as being kind neighbors and good-hearted people. Though the main character, Treff Ballowe, is a man of strong character and convictions, he is also caring and compassionate. I found this book to be both informative and entertaining.
