Description:
Comanche Sundown is the story of the great war chief Quanah Parker, a freed slave and cowboy named Bose Ikard, and the women they love.
Comanche Sundown lays out a sprawling and plausible recast of Southwestern history that brings Pat Garrett, Billy the Kid, Bat Masterson, Colonel Ranald "Bad Hand" Mackenzie, and General William T. Sherman into one fray. Jan Reid's novel offers a rich blend of historical detail, exquisite eye for the terrain and the animals, and insight into the culture, customs, poetry, and dignity of Native Americans caught up in a desperate fight to survive.
Review Quotes:
Jeff Guinn, special contributor to The Dallas Morning News said, "Only the best writers (Elliott Arnold in Blood Brothers, Larry McMurttry in Lonesome Dove series) can convincingly [make readers believe things might have happened in ways that exist only in a writer's imagination], and with Comanche Sundown Austin's Jan Reid demonstrates he belongs among the elite."
