Rings with Authenticity,
By Dom Santos (Anaheim, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Captured by the Navajos (Kindle Edition)
"Captured by the Navajos" by Captain Charles A. Curtis, USA, recounts the adventures of a detached Union Army unit out of Santa Fe, New Mexico territory, during the second year of the Civil War. The tale swirls around two teenaged boys who have an honorary rank of Corporal (later promoted to Sergeant) within the unit, many encounters with "rids" (Navajos, Santo Domingos, and Apaches), a couple of horses that are special to the boys, the omnipresence of an extraordinary dog named "Victoriana" (aka "Vic"), and a fair lass named Brenda who unfortunately is captured by the Apaches. Unlike the romanticized Hollywood Westerns, "Captured by the Navajos" rings with authenticity of the hardships and dangers of the trail and army life in the Old West - I suspect that the author probably drew from his own experiences, which made for more of a first-person account versus a tale conceived out of an author's usual research and creativity. I enjoyed the read.
