More Than a Western
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
If you like stories about the west, you should read Outlaw. The story tells the the tale of the adventures of Lee Garland, a cattle thief turned war hero turned entrepreneur. Throughout, Garland maintains his principles and, refreshingly, his perspective on what matters in life. Yet,Garland does have some demons. I have read it more than once and I have turned on many friends to this book. They have all loved it. I read quite a few westerns. Unlike most, this story actually bridges the 19th and 20th centuries and adds color to an era made black and white by the photography of the era. Outlaw is not cowboys and indians. Garland reinvents himself with every major event of the era yet through his eyes we do not lose the connection between the events of the day and the past. The book gives us a very real cast of characters we would all like to have met and his relationships with women go way beyond those typically found in this type of story. I loved it. It would make a great movie, but with few exceptions, the book is always better.

Outlaw was extremely enjoyable. I've read it twice, but what I want to know is this. Did Warren Keifer write anything else?
Terrific western historical novel.

This was a terrific novel which spanned an exciting changing time in American history. By the way, it was written before Lonesome Dove.
Superb, wonderful, and vivid!!

Compare to McMurty? Compare him instead to Greg Matthews, which is a much greater compliment. The battle at San Juan Hill is incredibly well written. I was dodging bullets in my sleep for weeks. You will love this book!
many have been compared to Lonesome Dove, only one does!
