This review is from: Ralph Compton The Palo Duro Trail (Trail Drive (Unnumbered)) (Paperback)

I own 70 of the Ralph Compton western books. His Estate, since his death has allowed continued reissue and continued Ghost-writing of the cowboy era between the American period of 1850-1895, with the employ of current great authors of like mind and talent of Compton. The additional books due out in 2010, include Stryker's Revenge, Dodge City Trail, North to Salt Fork and Death of a Hangman. If you are a true western and cowboy trail reader, wanting to relive and capture the smell of the sagebrush, the pounding of the cloudy skies from the pending western storm or the frightening attacks of the raging wild Indians, then sit down and read these wonderful time pieces!! These epic stories of trail drives, of five million longhorn, from Texas to the Western Frontier, each have a believable fictional character. However, each main character is placed on the trail in timely fashion, to cross paths with the likes of Wyatt Earp, the James Gang, Wild Bill, The Daltons, Clay Allen, Black Foot, Jim Bridger, Crazy Horse, Billy the Kid, and countless well known and also some little known, but yet profound Shootists, gunslingers, cowhands, Sheriffs and Marshals of the Wild West.............a very short time period in American history, but yet a time in history that made and molded the West.........
I promise you won't put the books down!
