Loved it. I don't normally read westerns but this is an amazingly well-done story that kept my interest. The characters and dialogue captivated me so much I could not put it down. Watching Texas grow from empty land to a huge steer farm and the battles against nature and man to make it happen was exciting.

Not to bad a story. Not Brauns best by a long shot though.

An enjoyable western. Plot a little cookie cutter, dialogue a little clichéd, but still what do you expect from a novel I picked up in Walmart lol. A cattleman and banker build a multimillion dollar enterprise on land they stole from Native Americans....you know, basically the story of the American West.

This is a thick one as paperbacks go, but an excellent story. Jack Jordon never seemed to make a mistake. He found the land that he wanted in the panhandle of Texas, a partner to finance him and a wife and family to share it with. The ultimate American dream. A great read.

Too much bad language for my taste.

This was only my second time going at a Matt Braun book. I listened to the audio book version and found it a nice, easy listen.
A very enjoyable story with a feel good ending! Well done!
