When I read Cotton's first Jeston Nash novel, I thought it was the best non-Louis Lamour western I'd ever read. Powder River's content is less graphic than his first, and even more entertaining. One almost begins to feel sorry for Jeston; but luckily the misanthrope manages to let his true greedy nature show through. The two anti-heroes (Jeston Nash and Quiet Jack) are the biggest thing to stagger out of the west since US Grant!

One of the most accurate western novels I've ever read. Ralf Cotton has managed to weave a tale that has it all: duty, honor, and sacrifice. Watch out Louis Lammor you have new compitition!!

I read a lot of westerns but I enjoyed this one the most! I laughted and laughted as a goverment that hasn't changed in all these years tries to steal the indians land, push a railroad down their throats and fight as dirty as anyone on earth. Reminds me of the goverment we still have today!

I loved this book! Will be looking for the movie. want one of those Catahoula cur dogs too!

This is the kind of western I always look for but hardly ever find. Ralph Cotton tells it like it is when it comes to the government and what they did to the sioux indians. Once I started reading it and seeing the war from both sides, I realized this was no ordinary western. Sometimes the language is a little strong but that's easy to overlook for a person who enjoys real life like stories

I didn't think another western could top While Angels Dance, but Powder River does. It is more like watching a Sam Peckinpaw movie than reading a book. Cotton is one heck of a writer with a lot to say. These are the kind of westerns that I've been looking for

After reading Cotton's first book I couldn't imagine another one being that good. But Powder River even tops the first one. It's more like watching a Sam Peckinpaw movie than reading a book. Finally, a western writer with something worth saying
