Excellant,

This review is from: The Stalkers: The Battle Of Beecher Island, 1868 (Plainsmen) (Mass Market Paperback)
As aslways Mr. Jonston uses a fictional person to carry his story. Seamus Donegon and fifty top notch army scouts after scouring the Colorado Territory for the mighty Cheyenne. At the junction of the Republican river and the Arikarre on an island the scouts find themselves surrounded by Cheyenne and they are out numbered 20 to 1. The battle lasts nine long days. This is a good book but as one reviewer said "why make this book fictional when the real story is just as fascinating" I agree. If you like good history of the Indian wars without reading 25 different books go to this isbn # 0803251866. The title is: GREAT WESTERN INDIAN FIGHTS.You'll love this book.

This review is from: The Stalkers: The Battle Of Beecher Island, 1868 (Plainsmen) (Mass Market Paperback)
Terry C. Johnston makes history live. I discovered him several years ago while looking for something western to read. Having read many of Loius L'Amour's stories I happened upon T. C. J's trilogy about the life and times of Titus Bass. (Now at least five books.) I then started reading the 'Plainsmen series' of which 'The Stalkers' is book Three. The absolute finest historical fiction I've ever read. His stories are based on carefully researched history. Because he has such a unique story teller's ability bringing the reader 'in', sometimes I think I can smell the black powder and hear the arrows singing overhead. I buy em' as soon as he writes em'.

Terry C. Johnston has made me into a history lover. His versions are very authentic without being boring. Indeed, as he has demonstrated in all of his novels, history was indeed made of real people with with strengths and weaknesses. I can't get enough. Waitin' for his next!
