Book Description

Real People October 2000
"No one weaves a tribal story quite like Robert Conley. Conley's books are entertaining, colorful, and chock-full of tribal history and culture."--Wilma P. Mankiller, former Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation

Few writers portray Native American life and history as richly, authentically, and insightfully as Robert J. Conley, an important voice of the Cherokee past. The novels in his Real People series combine powerful characters, gripping plots, and vivid descriptions of tradition and mythology to preserve Cherokee culture and history.

In the seventh novel of Robert J. Conley's saga of the Real People, a young, untested Cherokee who witnesses the death of his brother at the hands of a Seneca warrior vows to retaliate. His trek north into enemy country could have fateful consequences for both the Cherokee and the Seneca peoples, setting off a cycle of ambush and revenge that could spark all-out war.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific look at Eastern Woodland culture, December 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The War Trail North (Real People) (Paperback)
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating historical fiction!, January 13, 2006
This review is from: The War Trail North (Real People) (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: The War Trail North (Real People) (Paperback)
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.
