The Devil's Hoofprints
"Throughout the book, Cogburn treats familiar subjects with freshness and originality, spinning engaging tales true to the Western tradition but told in his own distinctive voice."- Rod Miller,Roundup MagazineThere are 13 short stories in this collection and each one is an edge of your seat tale. Brett Cogburn has a way with the western, like John Wayne has a way of walking, or John Ford had a way with capturing the true west on film. The Devil's Hoofprints, the title story, follows a slave as he tracks down the Comanche raiders who kidnap his master's children. The final story in the collection, A Rebel to the End, follows the path that Sergeant James Haggard takes at the end of the Civil War. He ends up in Mexico, still fighting the war with a bottle of whiskey and his memories. --L.J. Turner
