Editorial Review:
For Gage Jameson, the summer of 1873 has been a poor hunt. A year ago he felled sixty-two buffalo in one stand, but now the great Arkansas River herd is gone, like the Republican herd before it.In Dodge City, old hide hunters speak is awe of a last great heard to the south--but no hunter who values his scalp dares ride south of the Cimarron and into Comanche territory. None but Gage Jameson....

Rating:  - Kelton's West: Exciting Yet Authentic
This was my first experience with an Elmer Kelton book and I must say I enjoyed it entirely.
I was not really in a western mood when I first started the book, so that may be why it seemed to start a little slowly to me, but after a few chapters, I must say that I was throughly pulled into the action.

I read the last four chapters by candlelight because our lights went out and I couldn't wait to read more!

Rating: - My favorite Kelton
I couldn't believe when I opened this up that no one else had reviewed the book! You folks are missing out. This is the book that introduced me to Elmer Kelton, which is perhaps why it's my favorite. But everything about it is SO GOOD. The guns, the buffalo hunting, the Indians, the characters. Kelton is supreme. He is far better than Louis L'AMour in his authenticity and believablility, and everyone ought to see that in this book. The only writer I know of who is neck and neck with Kelton is Kirby Jonas, ...
