With the exception of Robert Parker (and I'm not sure he counts), I don't read Westerns so this was new and different, and unpredictable. Too many innocent people got killed, though; I'll have to read a couple more to see if that is standard storyline.

I enjoyed this book. It had some surprises, too many deaths and mean people. However, that was probably what it was like in the 'old west'. I would read this author again, even though I usually don't read westerns.

Excellent western

I read a lot of books, but never westerns. Something drew me to this book, like the single cottonwood, and I'm glad it did.. The imagery, the descriptions of the land, and the characters are superb.

Very much in the vein of Lonesome Dove books.

When I picked this book up at a yard sale last summer I didnt realize it was a western. I don't usually read westerns so I was sure I wouldn't like this book. It kept me geussing what the ending would be and I can say I was satisfied with it. If you like westerns you will love it.
