I was looking for something to read along the lines of The Last Of The Mohicans. The War Trail North certainly delivered! It also opened up for me a whole new literary area.

In this story the reader views the life of a warrior as he attempts to prove his manhood. I found particularly interesting the clashes between rival tribes. But I have to say that I also enjoyed the passages where the young man seeks to gain the young woman he has fallen in love with.

This novel farthered my facination of Native America and gave me an appreciation for Robert J. Conley's talent. I'm hoping he continues the Real People series. I've since gone back and picked up one of the earlier books!

For anyone who is curious about Cherokee history, but just can't bring yourself to read non-fiction, this series of novels is for you. Conley weaves a page-turning tale that makes the Reader anxious to know what happens next. Each installment is just as intriguing as the one before. The characters are so realistic you start wondering if maybe things really did happen the way he writes them. Historical fiction at its best.

I have enjoyed "The Real People" series. This is the seventh installment. I didnt realize that there were that many in the series and I need to go back and read a couple that I missed somehow. Even with that, this book is a great read even without reading the entire series in order. Conley's style is very enjoyable and is a easy, fast paced read.

What can I say? You simply can't go wrong with Robert Conley. His books are easy to read and interesting. I've read this one twice and thoroughly enjoyed it both times.

If you haven't read one of his books, you need to start.
