This was my first introduction to Lou Bradshaw's writing.  What a story teller he is. His descriptions of the characters really make you know each one--their character, experiences, attitude toward life. And the settings of the areas traveled by "Hickory Jack" and Ben Blue are so realistic.  Not many writers give you the impression that they have been in those parts of the country.  Know one now can imagine what life was like in the late 1880's and how people survived the times between lawlessness and peace.  Heartbreaking ending, but necessary for the next Ben Blue book.
