Trouble on the Smoky Hill Trail
Have YOU Seen this Amazing Review From an established & Highly Regarded Western Author?
A couple of
thoughts about this book from someone who knows nothing about reviewing books.
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2023
Sometimes I am unsure of
my skills as a writer, but there is no doubt in my lack of experience in
writing a review, but here are a couple of thoughts on this book.
First off it completely surpassed my expectations. I’m well acquainted with
Andrew’s work, but not in his skill with a western. Fast paced, but never skimping
on details. And the style he chose to write this in was inspired. Since
childhood I have read and reread the account of the capture and rescue of
Jemima Boone (Daniel’s daughter) as well as her friends. This book reminded me
greatly of that harrowing episode. At times I forgot that I was reading an
oater, and found myself lost in what could easily have been the adaptation of a
journal. Each emotion of the captives, the captors, and the rescuers was there
for us to read and feel. I strongly commend Andrew on the attention paid to the
bond between Noah, Jacob, and Sam.. this was a pleasure to read, and not only
ended satisfactorily, but left the door open for adventures in the future.
If you like your
westerns written with detail instead of cliches, this is your kind of book.
Bravo Andrew, bravo.

So, there you go. Needless to say, I'm rather delighted to get a review like that.
