Review
"Lovers of Louis L'Amour type westerns will welcome a new paperback series written by Ralph Compton."--Nashville Banner
--This text refers to the
Mass Market Paperback
edition.
From the Back Cover
From bestselling author Ralph Compton—a compelling tale about the man who blazed a trail that became Western history…
Armed with only a Colt rifle, a Bowie knife, and courage as big as the West, Ten Chisholm—the bold, illegitimate son of frontier scout and plains ambassador Jesse Chisholm and a Cherokee woman—arrives in the heart of Comanche country with a price on his head. His only crime: loving the beautiful daughter of a powerful New Orleans gambler who has promised her to a wealthy man she hates.
THE CHISHOLM TRAIL
Now that Ten has returned to the harsh Texas brakes with a team of battle-toughened cowboys and ex-soldiers—and a vow to return to Priscilla and make her his wife—he must round up wild longhorns, ward off angry Comanches, and survive treacherous outlaw attacks as he crosses the Red River and sets off on a brazen quest to open a new trail to Kansas on the savage frontier.
“Very seldom in literature have the legends of the Old West been so vividly painted.”—Tombstone Epitaph

One of Comptons best in the trail drive series.,
By "kronikmigraine" (Melbourne, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Chisholm Trail (Trail Drive) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is definetely one of Comptons best in the trail drive series. Unlike most in the series, this is a single book(no sequel to it - last page is last page of the story). Ralph Compton combines what hes best at in this book. A lot of "town" western and "trail" western. Also, there is a rare look into Compton's writings about the east America during the western expansion. Definetely a must buy. Only Dodge, Goodnight, and Western I believe, are better than this one.

Interesting chronicle of the historic Chisholm Trail,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Chisholm Trail (Trail Drive) (Audio Cassette)
The Chisholm Trail was named after Jesse Chisholm although this fictional novel concerns his son, Tin, mostly. Not a whole lot about the trail itself but more about his romance with a New Orleans belle.
5.0 out of 5 stars
