A great western
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
When I read Cotton's first Jeston Nash novel, I thought it was the best non-Louis Lamour western I'd ever read. Powder River's content is less graphic than his first, and even more entertaining. One almost begins to feel sorry for Jeston; but luckily the misanthrope manages to let his true greedy nature show through. The two anti-heroes (Jeston Nash and Quiet Jack) are the biggest thing to stagger out of the west since US Grant!
At the top of the list

This is the kind of western I always look for but hardly ever find. Ralph Cotton tells it like it is when it comes to the government and what they did to the sioux indians. Once I started reading it and seeing the war from both sides, I realized this was no ordinary western. Sometimes the language is a little strong but that's easy to overlook for a person who enjoys real life like stories
Even better than While Angels Dance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
I didn't think another western could top While Angels Dance, but Powder River does. It is more like watching a Sam Peckinpaw movie than reading a book. Cotton is one heck of a writer with a lot to say. These are the kind of westerns that I've been looking for
Another jewel of a western!

After reading Cotton's first book I couldn't imagine another one being that good. But Powder River even tops the first one. It's more like watching a Sam Peckinpaw movie than reading a book. Finally, a western writer with something worth saying
Most definately two thumbs up!!!

One of the most accurate western novels I've ever read. Ralf Cotton has managed to weave a tale that has it all: duty, honor, and sacrifice. Watch out Louis Lammor you have new compitition!!
