About the author
Charles G. West
71 books75 followersCharles G. West first arrived on the western literary scene in March, 1998 with his first novel, Stone Hand, published by Penguin under their Signet imprint. The book was the first of a three-book series, featuring Jason Coles, master tracker. The public response to those first three books called for more western fiction by West, and as of January 2014, Signet has published forty-five.
Inspired in his youth by great adventure authors like A.B. Guthrie and Vardis Fisher, West has always sought to be true to the men and women who braved the dangers of the savage frontier that was ultimately forged to become the American west. Novels by Charles G. West are classified as historical/westerns due to his diligent research in his subject matter, choosing to weave his fiction into the fabric of the actual places and events, being true to the times as well as the people. As a result, his protagonists are usually not heroes, but are often called upon to perform heroic deeds.
Insisting that his protagonists must be instilled with a sense of fairness in addition to courage. West readily admits that many of the characters in his books are patterned after his two sons, both of whom are graduates of the University of Montana, one still lives in Kalispell, Montana - and is the source of much of the author's detail on the ways of the mountain man. Both sons share West's love for the Big Sky Country.
Presently, the author resides in Ocala, Florida with his wife, Ronda, whose name is found on the dedication page of every West novel.

The greats are so great in the Western genre that this pales in comparison.

This book is a sequel but, I believe, firmly stands on it own merits. But for those who are expecting it to be a second Little Wolf novel, don't. Little Wolf finally makes his appearance with only 50 pages to go. But no matter, his brother is very capable of providing enough adventure for readers of Westerns. In fact our protagonist goes from one situation to another, almost like one short story to another, which is tied up neatly at the end, bringing the whole novel together. The only reason I didn't give this one more stars is because some of the characters were quite cliched and there really was nothing new here. This was my first Charles West novel and I may well read more.

Bitter Root
A superb novel. A book for all fans of the early western frontier. An attention grabber full of exciting twists and turns. The story line will keep you on the edge of your seat. Truly one of those books you just can't put down.
