Savage Wilderness 4 1/2 rounded down to 4

I found this book tossed into the "recyle" bin while sorting donations at my Library-yellowed pages, bent cover-but it called to be read, at least once more.

This is a story of The French and Indian War, which I have read little of. Also Harold Coyle is a new author for me. I enjoyed his story-telling immensely, in a way it reminded me of Herman Wouk's War and Remembrance.

There are multiple characters(protagonists) in the story, but they blend so well together it never got confusing and it was always believable that these people would cross each others landscapes in the world. You have the British colonies fighting New France colonies with each side having support from the mother country and the Native Americans. (Actually the Native Americans were only fighting for themselves-but they did join forces with the colonists-they just wanted everyone gone, and who could blame them?) All for owner ship of the the forks of the Ohio River.

This man can write war and battle! So descriptive it could make the squeamish shutter, yet you know in your heart that these awful acts of men, during this period in American history, did occur. However, the story has a bit of romance tossed in to even things out and the characters are so well written!

If you like a good "Saga" look for this book-it's an oldie but some libraries may have it, If you really want to read it and can't find a copy, let me know and I will be happy to ship it off to you. It still is not ready for the recycle bin!
