I have read other books by Paul Bagdon, but this is the first I've read with foul language. I stopped reading the book after the first two pages. I am a pastor and love putting my Christian Western books in our church library, however, I'll just throw away this one. I am quite disappointed in Paul Bagdon since other books of his speak of the faith of his characters.

Don't listen to the other two reviewers who complain about the "foul" language. It's not bad at all and regardless.. It's realistic! Cowboys did use foul language as did many people of that day (at least when it was just the men).

I can't believe a reader would throw away a perfectly good book because it doesn't fit into their strict Christian library. I wish they were able to travel back in time and see what the west REALLY was like (Newsflash: not like a John Wayne movie).

Anyway, if you like exciting Western fiction that's fast-paced and action-packed, get this book. I'm sure you won't shudder at the language like those two.

(I wonder if they ever watched DEADWOOD. Haha!)

My comments are just about exactly those of Settlement Sam.
After reading the West Texas Sunrise series,and finding this here for $5, I figured it a safe read.
After the first couple of pages I decided the book probably wouldn't be good enough to put up with the "trash mouth". Hopefully, this one was written earlier than W.TX Sunrise, and Bagdon has changed personally.
Anyway, I honestly can't say much about the actaul text as i don't think I finished the first chapter. It might be OK for someone.
If it weren't a $5 book, I would have sent it back to Amazon. It is not worth donating to anyone, so I will probably throw it away.

The 4 books in the West Texas Sunrise, however were quick, fun and adventurous. Each one is less than 300 pages. They'd get 4 stars.
