Fitting ending to the Brules Saga
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
As a big fan of Harry Comb's works in the Brules and The Scout books, I have just finished "The Legend of the Painted Horse".And I still havent formed an opinion of it yet. It sounded kinda corny compared to the brutish scenes of the previous two novels , yet, it was innocent in an appealing way. Brules and The Scout are perhaps the most treasured of all the books I have ever read, and I find myself reading them again from time to time, since the first time I read both of them.."The Legend of the Painted Horse" tried to end mystique of Cat Brules in a modern way, and in Steven Cartwrights telling of his life with Brule and the interplay was a tribute. I am glad that Mr.Combs wrote about the West in the way he did. It reflects on how much our lives have changed from the simple raw times of a hundred years ago. Steven Cartwright in a way, was also a true individual, just set in a more recent era. As I am closing this review, I decided that the book was good....so I rated it high based upon my sentimentality...from now on when ever I see a Painted horse, this book will come to mind. R.I.P - Cat Brules, who made his own choices in life.

I think that the Painted Horse tied Combs two previous works together well. It answered alot of the situations in the earlier books. I found it to have a superb plot all the way through. I wonder if there is any connection between Harry Combs and the character he writes about.
