Review
First-time novelist Ralph Cotton seamlessly interweaves fiction and fact in this Old West adventure set in the Civil War era. Publishers Weekly
Cotton's debut novel: While Angels Dance evokes a sense of outlawry. Gritty realism and Old West dialogue fill the pages. Kirkus Review
...Intriguing, compelling. Cotton delivers. Written in a dark prose style, his Post civil War Classic grabs instantly, dazzling and amazing the reader long after the last page is turned... Lyle Collier, Midwest Review
A writer in the tradition of Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey! Huntsville Times
...The myths and legends of the James-Younger brothers come alive in a Western that history buffs can love. Greg Lalire, Wild West Magazine
...American history "writ large," containing in stark relief the enormous contradictions of the American story. It is the logical setting for the stark drama of the American Dream. Literary Critic Wade Hall, The Louisville Courier Journal
