"Intriguing combination of personal disasters and grand adventure....
An engaging new look at the Old West."
|
|
– The New
York Times
|
| |
|
"An absolutely first-rate account of the rambunctious
life and times of the Reconstruction years in Texas - an enthralling era of
derring-do which finds its perfect chronicler in Mr. Shrake. His novel has all
the vigor and excitement of a war Apache in full cry."

"Bud Shrake is a first-rate talent, a deceptive stylist."
|
|
– Gay Talese

"Shrake writes in a hard-driving, ironic style of extreme naturalism,
giving a very different view of McGill's 'sainthood' and providing a colorful
description of the old West."

"The high adventure in Mr. Shrake's book is interwoven with
fascinating material about the lives and customs of the Indians."
