Bear Claw: Crow Killer Series - Book 4
This Western, Native American Fiction, comes alive in Alfred Dennis’ fourth book of the Crow Killer Series. Plenty of action, adventure, and romance follow Jedidiah Bracket, known as Crow Killer, as he traverses the vast wilderness of the Rocky Mountains.
Four years had passed since the Arapaho Chief rescued Jed from North Platte River where a sudden flash flood dumped him bloody and broken on its muddy banks. Jed’s birthmark of a lance on his back plus the old medicine man’s words foretold that he would become a great warrior. With guidance from the Arapaho warrior, Walking Horse, he had become a mighty Lance Bearer of the Arapaho Nation and a legend among the tribes.
Jed only wanted peace, but he still had many trails to ride and many battles to undertake. His friends, Walking Horse and Red Hawk, would always be by his side in battle, but were they enough to combat the crazed Blackfoot called Bear Claw?

I have loved all the Alfred Dennis books I've read so far. The books are clean reads without profanity or sex but are mildly gory...that part was the reality of that era just as it is in any war then and now - better to read it than see it. There some humorous parts sprinkled throughout that will make you chuckle. Dont hold back on such excellent historical fiction. The stories are phenomenal.

The thing that stands out in this book is how the Honor of men allows enemies to work together in peace. Honor is an attribute rarely found in Generations today.
Well written, believable for the time and entertaining. I am working on finishing the series. Keep them coming. If you like the old days you will enjoy the Series.

Interesting characters in highly charged situations.
If you enjoy reading stories about the American Indians in the 1840's then I highly recommend that you read this series by Alfred Dennis. Interesting characters in highly charged situations make for interesting stories.

bear law
Once again I give this book a five. I am enjoying each one and like very much how the author never stops with the story but continues from where he left off to begin the next one.

Another Great Adventure
As Crow Killer only wants peace in his valley. Enemy tribes and warriors challenge him some of them want the power they think he possess. It was surprising to learn of the superstitions the Indians had.

5 Stars
In book 4 Jed's hope to live in peace seems out of reach. First he accompanies his wife's brother on a vengeance raid against the Ree. He's challenged to a fight at the trading post. And finally a crazed Blackfoot warrior seeking revenge for his father's death.

Bear Claw - Another great story by Alfred Dennis
This is another adventure by Crow Killer that grabs you from the first chapter to the very end. I rarely enjoy series of books but Alfred Dennis manages to keep each one exciting and hard to put down.

Good story
Good story. I would have given it five stars but for the fact it keeps saying that the Shoshone were a warring tribe. They were not. They were considered a very peaceful people. It's a shame to portray them as other wise.

Another great Alfred Dennis story.
I have a hard time putting down one of his books and the books of the Crow Killer Series were no exception.
