About the author

Cotton Smith was born in Kansas City, Missouri; some would say a century later than he should have. He grew up enjoying both adjoining states, Kansas and Missouri, living mostly in Kansas. His ancestors fought in the Civil War, mostly for the South, as regulars and guerillas. As a young man, he learned to ride horses from a grizzled wrangler he remembers fondly. He also learned how to roll a cigarette then, too! "Looking back on it, he taught me the right ways around a horse -- and he taught me some other things too. Like swinging into the saddle with the horse loping. And springing up from the rear, like the movie stars did. Never occurred to me then that I could get hurt. Guess no young person ever does."

Early in life, he was also exposed to the ways of the Plains Indian, to their sacred ceremonies, customs and traditions. His appreciation for their spiritual connection to the land and all that occupied it was heightened by involvement with Indian friends and backed by extensive research. Both touched him deeply and can be readily seen in his caring -- and accurate--portrayal of Indians in his novels. Throughout his stories, one finds intriguing glimpses of this insight, giving readers a sense of what really was and why.

Enjoyed it. The brothers all are strong characters and bring strength to the story. I will buy the sequel to see who killed the judge although I have a strong suspicion of who the next villain will be.

Great story!

This book and story is for those of us who grew up watching those great Western Hero's on our parent's television. Then went outside with you find and holsters on Saturdays and became those TV heros!

Yes to brothers, loyal and true. No to sudden new murder ending, and Holt's endlessly repeated superstitions.

[Jeff Benham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another installment of the Corrigan brothers. Lots of action and a very good western. We are left hanging at the end, which is good, because that means there is another book in the series!

Great continuation of Ride Away

A fast moving western of three Brothers, and how they hand out their form of justice in a Texas town!
