New York: Forge Books, 2002. First Mass Market Edition. Paperback. Fine. Voted the Greatest Western Writer of all time by the Western Writers of America. This is the 2nd book in the Texas Rangers series. The Texas Frontier, 1865. The Civil War is over and Texas is reluctantly yielding to the Union soldiers spreading across the state, even into the dangerous Comanche country. David "Rusty" Shannon, proud member of a "ranging company" attempting to protect Texas settlers from Indian depredations, finds that the rangers are being disbanded. He makes his way home to his land on the Red River, hoping to take up the life of a farmer and the hand of the beloved girl he left behind, Geneva Monahan. But Geneva has married in Rusty's long absence and the country is filled with hostiles—not just Indians, but hate-filled Confederates, overbearing Union soldiers, and army renegades. Rusty's youth as a captive of the Comanches returns to haunt him when, in pursuit of Indian raiders, he takes as prisoner Badger Boy, a white child taken from his murdered parents by a Comanche warrior. Book is fine, lightest of edgewear. Book looks unread.

When I purchased this book new in 2000, Elmer Kelton was the only living author I bought. No one else's work was what I liked to read. And as per usual Elmer Kelton came through with a wonderful story of love, devotion, and bravery, as Rusty Shannon rescues Badger Boy from the Indians. That rekindles his memory of the time he was held captive himself. A very good book.

About Trolls Treasure

Home-based, online sales only. I am running out of space to keep my collection of books, but I cannot bypass any chance offered at searching out some interesting venue offering books. I dithered for quite some time over this problem, and went right on buying books, until it occurred to me that I could make room for new purchases if I started selling some of my books. So, here I am, a small business, but offering personal service. Happy to answer questions.
