Mattie Ross, a 14-year-old girl from Dardanelle, Arkansas, sets out to avenge her Daddy who was shot to death by a no-good outlaw. Mattie convinces one-eyed "Rooster" Cogburn, the meanest U.S. marshal in the land, to ride along with her. In True Grit, we have a true American classic, as young Mattie, as vital as she is innocent, outdickers and outmaneuvers the hard-bitten men of the trail in a legend that will last through the ages.

He rides into El Paso in the year 1901, on the day of Queen Victoria's demise, there to be told by a doctor that he must soon confront the greatest Shootist of all: Death himself. In such a showdown against such an antagonist, J. B. Books cannot win.

Part epic of Texas, part classic coming-of-age story, part unflinching examination of the bloody price of power, The Son is a gripping and utterly transporting novel that maps the legacy of violence in the American west with rare emotional acuity, even as it presents an intimate portrait of one family across two centuries. Eli McCullough is just twelve-years-old when a marauding band of Comanche storm his Texas homestead and brutally murder his mother and sister, taking him as a captive.

Pulitzer Prize winner Larry McMurtry crafts works synonymous with the grandeur and beauty of the American West. Here McMurtry turns his attention to George A. Custer, a complex man who has captivated historians for over a century. From graduating last in his class at West Point to leading the ill-fated 7th Cavalry in the attack at Little Bighorn, Custer forged a legacy - still very much alive today - as one of the West's most enduring historical figures.

Pulitzer Prize winner Larry McMurtry crafts works synonymous with the grandeur and beauty of the American West. Here McMurtry turns his attention to George A. Custer, a complex man who has captivated historians for over a century. From graduating last in his class at West Point to leading the ill-fated 7th Cavalry in the attack at Little Bighorn, Custer forged a legacy - still very much alive today - as one of the West's most enduring historical figures.

Ordered to hold an abandoned army post, John Dunbar found himself alone, beyond the edge of civilization. Thievery and survival soon forced him into the Indian camp, where he began a dangerous adventure that changed his life forever. Set in 1863, the novel follows Lieutenant John Dunbar on a magical journey from the ravages of the Civil War to the far reaches of the imperiled American frontier, a frontier he naively wants to see "before it is gone".

Mattie Ross, a 14-year-old girl from Dardanelle, Arkansas, sets out to avenge her Daddy who was shot to death by a no-good outlaw. Mattie convinces one-eyed "Rooster" Cogburn, the meanest U.S. marshal in the land, to ride along with her. In True Grit, we have a true American classic, as young Mattie, as vital as she is innocent, outdickers and outmaneuvers the hard-bitten men of the trail in a legend that will last through the ages.

One of the Great Western Novels
Enjoyed the reader's performance. Much deeper and darker than the motion picture (which was great). The way it ends is perfect for the overal tone of the novel.

A true western classic
Often gritty, sometimes amusing, frequently thrilling but always gripping and enthralling this is really one of the great western classics. Some changes from the movie but superior in every way.

Outstanding Story
Harsher than the movie but very enjoyable. The performance by Tom Stechschulte is first rate, full of passion and intensity. I read this book 50 years ago but throughly enjoyed revisiting and realized there were parts that I had forgotten . It’s hard to imagine the harsh frontier where this type of occurrence took place. The uniqueness of this story is the relentless pursuit. I believe the reality of most captive children left most families helpless to do anything but grieve as few if any homesteaders would have had the means or abilities to continue a long term search.

One of the Best
First hour is just commentary about the movie. Only knock on performance is a bit too strong of a John Wayne imitation. Very engaging listen of an obvious all time classic.

Very realistic
This book is much more realistic than the movie the searchers with John Wayne. And while the movie has some similar incidents, the ending of the book is quite different. This is one of the best westerns about Texas. I have ever read historically accurate with a engaging story.

My New Favorite Western Author
I first read the Sackett series and became a lover of westerns but had not found another author I loved equally as well until I found Alan Lemay! I am so thrilled with this excellent portrayal of life in the west!

It was gonna get five stars…
… Until the movies ending turned out so much better. No spoilers, but John Wayne was better. Nonetheless, what a tribute to the pioneer families that actually endured the deprivations of the Texas frontier… And what amazing dialect and language from an author, who, according to Wikipedia, had nothing of the upbringing that would've assisted in his very astute observations. Excellent book. Even better if you haven't seen the movie.
