Review
This is a fictionalized story of the Lincoln County War, told with harsh details... There is no happy ending, but the reader is impressed with the resilience of the humans that survived. Books of the Southwest Lincoln County, New Mexico, was the site of one of the Old West's bloodiest and best-documented private wars [in 1878]... The Lincoln County War was real; the Rourke family is fictional. Through Savage's deft telling of the tale, one can feel the pain that was visited upon many families during the conflagration. An exciting, compassionate account of an oft-told tale. Booklist The story is beautifully crafted ... by a master storyteller. Ohioana Quarterly
