Summary: Good Adventure Story, Interesting History
Comment: The Story: Rusty Shannon is a former Texas Ranger who has informally adopted a boy who had been kidnapped by the Comanches as an infant after they killed his parents. Andy lived with the Comanches for ten years and became one of them. Rusty tries to take the boy back (he wants to go back), but that doesn't go well, and Andy makes Comanche enemies. Meanwhile, this is right after the Civil War, and Texas is run by a Union (North) imposed government, but its citizens were divided, during and after the war, as to which side they supported, causing continuing friction. Rusty has enemies who want to push him off his farm, but he also has friends. One of those friends has a young son, who gets captured by the Comanches during a raid, and Andy, now sixteen, faces his past as he tries to rescue the boy.
Commentary: This is a rousing adventure tale full of realistic, interesting, three-dimensional characters (the good guys have their flaws and the bad guys have understandable motives), straightforward language, and a rich historical setting. I knew little about Texas right after the Civil War, but this book paints a pretty clear picture of those times.
I am not generally a fan of Westerns, but that could be changing.
