This book was the first mountain man book I have ever read besides Give Your Heart to the Hawks by Win Blevins. The hero of the book is Jamie Ian McCallister, and he settles a small valley, known as McCallister's Valley, and, throoughout the book, the sittlement is attack by various outlaws, and Jamie has to go on the warpath to get back at them. The tale also includes McCallister's sons who also do the same thing. I loved this book and I think it is a great book to start out on if you are reading westerns!

Enjoyed book 1 which was Eyes of the Eagle. Book 2, Dream of the Eagles was a gripping continous saga of the MacCallister family. Jaimie reunites with his Grandfather in this book. There is a Lot of killing an bloodshed, but not to very graphiclly written. Mid point in the book Jamie aquires some newer 6 shot Colt revolvers so he's able to shoot & kill qicker than before. Some of the characters branch out across the country. Two of the MscCallister kids find success overseas singing. The light skinned negro's that are brother - sister take off for the east and venture to Virginia, the sister marries into a rich familiy and their saga adds a bit of comedy to the book as the brother comes out as homosexual and is interested in his new brother in law.

Smokymtnbooks was excellent. The book was exactly as described, was shipped one day after it was ordered and received quite quickly. I am happy to recommend them very highly and will certainly use them again if the opportunity arises.
