This is a super fun western novella about deadwood dick (i.e Nat Love) who while doing some buffalo hunting stops at adobe falls with his partner black hat jack, become embroiled in a siege by native americans.
This book is quality and shod be a quick read bit you may find yourself lingering as Nat comes across a great mix of colorful characters. That manages to blend literary licensing with a level headed and honest approach to history. The division between the frontier and "civilized" world is nicely done and Nat is a strong character who sees the world how it is. No appologies or politics. Just fun historic fiction.
