This was a great story I love the Civil war era, the Texas frontier, a ranch setting, cowboys, Indians, Mexicans, hard working virtuous women, equally hard working honorable men, and adorable little

good character, especially given the normal redundancy of Peterson s characters There was enough to bring her out of the overused characters that the author sometimes gets into the habit of doing I

beginning, was always at his best He had friends, I really enjoyed this book I thought that Hannah was a good character, especially given the normal redundancy of Peterson s characters There was
