Rio Honda: The Brannocks (Signet) [Paperback]

Matt Braun (Author)

Book Description

Series: Signet | Publication Date: November 3, 1987

In a land of long red sunsets, Clint and Virgil Brannock had carved out a sweeping cattle spread along the lush banks of the Rio Hondo. But now Clint has been called away to fight in the Apache wars, and Virgil, driven by his ambition, is corralling mustangs on the Llando Estscado. With their family ranch in New Mexico territory threatened by men of greed and power, men who send murderers to do their dirty work, the Brannocks can only turn to one another--to hold onto an empire they have built with their sweat and blood.

About the Author

MATT BRAUN is a fourth generation Westerner, steeped in the tradition and lore of the frontier era. His books reflect a heritage rich with the truths of that bygone time. Raised among the Cherokee and Osage tribes, Braun learned their traditions and culture, and their philosophy became the foundation of his own beliefs. Like his ancestors, he has spent most of his life wandering the mountains and plains of the West. His heritage and his contribution to Western literature resulted in his appointment by the Governor of Oklahoma as a Territorial Marshal.

Braun is the author of forty-seven novels and four nonfiction works, including Black Fox, which was made into a CBS miniseries. Western Writers of America awarded Braun the prestigious Spur Award for his novel The Kincaids and the 2004 Wister Award for Lifetime Achievement in Western Literature.

This review is from: Rio Hondo (Brannocks) (Mass Market Paperback)

I found this to be an excellent book. The story flowed easily an the author didn't use two dollar words to keep my intrest. I would however like to see the story carry on through Elizabeth and the children. It would be intresting to see what happens to the family. Overall another excellent book.
