An excellent, well written Western!

This was a good read. The characters are more than 2 dimensional. Each has faults and strengths. Both are likable in their own ways.
The story follows how good intentions can go wrong.
Many of the plot instances go more as life on the frontier really happened, rather than how most Westerns portray it.
Life was difficult, often harsh, and, many times, short.

One of the best books!!!!

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Real story of one good man and one man that turns bad. This is a must read.

Texas Kingdoms is far more substantial than the average Western. Spanning decades, it tells of two men and their bond of friendship that changed over time as circumstances impacted their relationship. Rich in detail that pulls the reader into the characters' circumstances, and provides a gritty feel for the land where events occur. Highly recommended.

a must read

For anyone for an appreciation for the land, the understanding of the resilience and failings of our humanity, the power of love, and the passage of time and the hope it can bring, this a novel worth reading .

An epic for sure

In the worst of the worst may lie seeds of greatness that never truly sprout. Even the best of men are not perfect.

I'm a sucker for a good story that spans a characters lifetime. This book fit that category. Let me start off by saying there were a few errors and misspellings that could easily be caught through editing. The characters were enjoyable and could easily have fit a couple of books to help with going into more detail with them. You get close to feeling them but not quite due to the fact of trying to move the story forward. I would love to have went along with Will during his time in the Civil War this would have shown his growth. Overall, I really enjoyed the story and the pace of the book.
