Clint Hunter: Mountain Man
Down From The Mountain
By the time he was fifteen years old, Clint Hunter of Philadelphia, had graduated school and the University—twice. With degrees in both Medicine and Law, at the age of seventeen, Clint still felt empty and dissatisfied. He struck up a bargain with his father, to be allowed four years to go West and see the lands, experience life, then return to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a doctor in the family practice. When he boarded the train west with fifty thousand dollars set up in a bank account, Clint had no way of knowing just how much his life would turn in a completely different way.

Clint is definitely a force to be reckoned with his time as a Texas Ranger, and especially once his ranch has been established. This outstanding western masterpiece of many heartwarming episodes is a little slow to begin with, but believe me, the more I read the better it developed into an extraordinarily outstanding review of our real old West!
No problem awarding five stars to this successfully descriptive rendition of how our old American West was probably finally conquered. Clint, and his supportive cast, waste no time in conquering the evil that they met as each new adventure unfolded! Outstanding storylines that successfully portrays a compassion that is unsurpassed with its never ending detailed gunfights and entertaining revelations about how our West was finally tamed.
I was impressed with author's outstanding descriptive storylines, as they continuously bring justice in taming the is most destructive enemies. Too, the selection of characters definitely portrayed their assigned roles to perfection, as both good guys and bad guys, go above and beyond in quest of their goals. Great camaraderie among the good guys, as they set their goals and objectives of cleaning up the bad guys!
Definitely recommend this compassionate masterpiece to all readers, regardless of your desired reading pleasure, as these heartwarming adventures will appease anyone's desired expectations. There are enough suspenseful moments, romantic interludes and ongoing gunfights to pacify anyone's desired expectations. Yeah, even you non-western enthusiasts will definitely enjoy this compassionately outstanding western masterpiece!😀

Adventure galore
The story is interesting and there is adventure at every page. The action and the plot is very quick. I prefer a slower pace and a location description than action and adventure. Regardless it is a good book will keep you turning pages.

Interesting western.
Enjoyed the book. Covered a long period of time and left out many details. I would of liked to know what happened while he was an Indian slave. His life with his wife was also neglected. This period could of been covered in several books.

History
The book seems to have a lot of true history. I believe the author did a lot of research on his subjects. I found it interesting more than entertaining.

Very Well Written!
I believe this book tells it pretty closely to how it was. It's really too bad that none of us will ever know for sure.
The characters in this book are as strong as they come.

Much detail of Western and Indian culture
I enjoy book with history of the west and Indian culture. Authors should possess knowledge the subject matter prior to writing their books
