Endearing southern gentleman, beautiful women, realistic and romantic scenic settings, dangers lurking all about – this is the early Texas we all love and has fostered our common pride. To test your courage, love and endurance - Could you have survived this dangerous time in Texas history? Written as Orange has portrayed, I’d gladly give it a go, if I was coming up with his strong, waggish but decent characters. Great book for any age group.

What a phenomenal book from Mr. Jerry P. Orange! This book has a bit of everything in it. It is a true western adventure. I would even go so far as to say that this is the start of the grown up version of the "Little House on the Prairie" series! Everyone interested in what it was like living in Texas in the late eighteen-sixties would absolutely love this book! And, it continues on with the second book "Texas Yankee Honeymoon".

When we first meet our protagonist, Joshua Granger, he had been a boy having lived half of his life in Texas, after fleeing his brother's farm in Kentucky. When war breaks out, he follows his instincts and does what he feels is the right thing and fights for the union. However, the war is over and he is rereading a letter from his sweetheart back home in Texas, who wants to marry him. Next, he has to get there, even if it means getting past ex-confederates, bandits, and Comanche Indians. The same goes for living on the land. And, we mustn't forget Mr. and Mrs. Smith, his sweetheart's parents plus her brothers, who both fought for the Confederate side.

This book takes you through a lot of places, people, and things. If you have ever been interested in the old West and what homesteading comprised of, you will be in for a surprise! The plot is solid, the setting is spectacular. You will love the characters. And be begging for more at the book's end.

Thank you Mr. Jerry P. Orange and Word Slinger for giving me a free copy of this book to read and give my honest review.
