(Same author from the aforementioned Airship book. Now that I know he wrote both, I'm going to have to read that one too.)

Haven't read any of his other works, but this book about the last hurrah of the Comanches is excellent.

The "Wild West" was almost indescribably violent. This book was an eye-opener.
This was my first book of his. He just rocketed to the top of my list. I hope all his books share this one's clarity, wit, and brevity.
