Superstition Gun Trilogy #3
Higher Ground
Writing any historical takes skill and research, but Higher Ground is written by a combat veteran so his insight into battles is uncanny. The battle known as Custer's Last Stand is so vivid in this book that you can almost hear the battle cries and smell the gun smoke. This book has a cast of characters that will keep you compelled to turn the page.

This author’s covers are always fantastic and this one doesn’t disappoint. The book propels the reader through some of the most famous events of the American West. His depiction of the Battle of the Little Bighorn was tremendous. The detailed description of firearms I thought was unnecessary but some might appreciate. A good read.

Higher Ground is a fun, action packed story of the old west. While the author, McKendree Long, loosely traces the adult lives of his three main characters, he does so by weaving in a number of actual historical events and real people. In doing so, the author creates an interesting cast of characters, and writes history from the eyes of those behind the scenes. Those individuals whom we can all easily imagine were there, but we just never heard about them. Long’s fascinating grasp at what life must have been like during the latter part of the nineteenth century allows the reader to get a vivid picture of the action and settings he creates throughout the book. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to everyone who enjoys historical fiction and particularly those fascinated by the wild west during the late 1800’s. Read the book!
