3.0 out of 5 stars Historically not quite accurate, but enjoyable, September 29, 2003

This review is from: Colt (Chief of Scouts) (Paperback)

I read it and had fun reading it. Enjoyed the characters involved, hated the bad men, loved the good men and didn't care about the truth concerning historical events. But afterwards I read "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" I came to love Indians and hate those "white men". That's what's going to happen when you read this book. The hero kills Indians as if they were old buffalos and never gets hurt and the characters development goes too fast, almost as if the author was in a hurry to finish the book or was getting out of paper. Still enjoyable, but as I said not quite accurate concerning historical events (chief Joseph of the Nez Perce died as an old man, not shot in the head)
