Shawgo

By: Dusty Rhodes

Narrated by: Gene Engene

In the early 1870's, the young state of Texas was struggling to survive. Its vast, undeveloped land of over 260 thousand square miles became a haven for the lawless. Murderers, rustlers and renegade bands of hostile Indians and Comanchero roamed the vast wastelands of west Texas with only a narrow river separating them from the sanctuary of Mexico. One group of dedicated lawmen stood between this element and the law-abiding citizenry - the Texas Rangers. This is the story of one of those men. Shawgo - Texas Ranger.

Award-winning author Dusty Rhodes was born in Eastern Oklahoma - formerly the notorious Indian Territory. Dusty grew up on stories of the old west. After retirement, he began taking down those stories that had been gathering dust on the shelves of his mind and doing what he had dreamed of doing since childhood - writing historical westerns. His first book, Man Hunter, was named the best western e-book of 2002.

Good read!

I bought this for my husband who loves westerns. I needed something to read and decided to read it too. I was pleasantly surprised. The story is interesting and has many twists and turns. I would recommend it for an enjoyable read that is easy to follow.

Very well written, as are all of Dusty's books.

Dusty Rhodes hits another one out of the park. Another great book by this author!

Great Western

This was excellent in developing both plot and characters. Gave a real incite into every day life in the 1800's. Great read.

Good book but the narrator was bad.

The narrator was not very good when he tried to give different voices and accents to the characters. At times it was very annoying to hear him try to give accents to military officers, etc.

Nice Western

I really liked the book. I thought it had a good story line and good detail. You can't beat a good main character and a reader that sounds like you would like the person to be. This fits.
