4.0 out of 5 stars
strong American period drama,
This review is from: Chieftain (Mira S.) (Mass Market Paperback)
Okies, snatched this on the run by the title - Chieftain - thinking it was a wee Highland drama. Instead, I found it was as in Indian chief! Okay, culture shock, but I enjoyed it anyway. Shanaco leave his New Mexico ranch on a quest to fulfill his Grandfather's dying wish: escort the people of a Comanche tribe to the reservation in Fort Sill. Once the tribe is settled, he expects to go home. But when they get to the Fort reservation, and hand over their weapons, they are shoved into pens like animals. A worm of a Colonel makes some really weak decisions with far-reaching repercussions for the Indians. Maggie Bankhead came to the reservation to teach the Indians English. She has a deep respect for the Comanche, which soon earns the approval of Shanaco. Joining together, they fight for the rights of his people. But there is all sorts of lover of the Comanche - and different types of love - as Maggie soon discovers when the Colonel's daughter tries to make time with Shanaco. But he rejects her, making a bitter and spiteful enemy of her. Ryan crafts a strong story that keeps the reader turning pages - even when that reader was originally expecting a braw Scots lad in the Highlands. Ah, a change of pace is always welcome.

1st time Nan Ryan Reader,
By Proud Mic Mac (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chieftain (Mira S.) (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book, so much so that two weeks later I found myself reading it yet again. I think the storyline and the people were written well and the situations being what they were could truely have happened, this is not about fantasy this is right out of a day in the life. At least that is how I feel, I'm going to check out more of Nan Ryans works because of this wonderful treat

5.0 out of 5 stars
First time reader of Nan Ryan and will return,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chieftain (Mira S.) (Mass Market Paperback)
I found this book to be excellent, not only the story line but the way she describes the scenery and what it must of looked like when the Indians rode onto the reservation. She makes you feel like you were there, she makes you feel the pain. The storyline was really good and I thouroughly enjoyed it.
