Julia Robb’s novel Scalp Mountain, delves deeply into the Southern Plains’ Indian Wars. It takes place in 1876, and is rich in both its history and cultural understanding of both the time and people who populated this area during these morally complex times.For anyone who loves a good tale of the old west, one that will bring to life the period with all its tragedy, murder, and prejudice that was rampant this is the book for you.Ms. Robb paints a picture of life, love, and hate that will leave you breathless with anticipation for her next book. She is a master craftsman and it is difficult to believe she didn’t actually live in these times.
