Son of the Hawk

This trilogy was a fine read, chock full of high adventure and a hero that's fun to read about. I'm not even a western reader myself, but this trilogy kept me interested and reading on.And that's saying something!If you like your westerns full of triumphs and trajedies - then this one's for you!

This is the third book in the series about Trace McCall, known by the Indians as Mountain Hawk. Trace had a son by a Shoshoni young woman about twelve years ago. He is unaware of the boy whose name is White Eagle. After White Eagle's tribe is wipped out by the Sioux he looks for Trace. White Eagle has vowed to kill Booth Dalton, the white man who was with the Sioux when his mother was killed. White Eagle is captured by Booth Dalton and Trace McCall is after them. The book will hold your attention. If you like books about mountain men and Indians of that time you will enjoy this. I think this is the best one of the three in the series. If you can read them in order it will be best.

Charles G. West brings to life the type of real people that made our history. From the realationships with each other to the tension that comes with being in a tight spot at the wrong time.It sometimes makes me wonder what kind of a person I would make in similar situations. Or how our fore-fathers handled life as it was dealt them on a daily basis in similar times.As in this series of the Mountian Hawk I look forward to reading more about the man and where he came from. Which is why I searched for and look forward to reading the preseding books.
