Reviews-
It was only a few pages into this book that I began to smell the mesquite, sage and cedar of this area of the Southwest that it totally brings to life in a way that no other western of this period ever has for me. And just as the desert heat of the Arizona Strip even in this century can leave a man thirsty for sustenance before the sun hits midday, every chapter of A Paiute Wind pushes you forward for that quenching of resolve the characters are seeking.

In reading A Paiute Wind I gained an extraordinary group of 'friends' who ranged from historical characters such as John Wesley Powell and an Union Army surgeon, to August Anderssen and Alvaro Santa Cruz, characters from the author's fertile imagination that I had to keep reminding myself weren't real. I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next and was never disappointed. But I wasn't merely entertained. The book isn't just a page turner. It's an introduction to an amazing group of people.
