You had the choice of an ending,and being a romantic I like happy endings,thank you for a spellbinding tale.

Loved it.

Great story - loved the detail and characters.

You really dont get it do you,you thought you could fool all the people all the time,you are a typical so called 21 st century american.All of you are a nuisance to humanity.

I am sorry to see it come to an end. It has been a refreshing story and a heartfelt story also.<P>I wondered if the neighbors were so tolerant of the kids being half-breed as Sam went to courting. If the neighbors had know the family for years with the kids growing up together it might not be as big an issue in those times.<P>Thank you for your great short story. It was so very enjoyable to be entertained by such creative and good writing.<P>PT

This has to be one of the most enjoyable series of read. Thank you, keep writing!

You could bring them right up to modern times !

Very interesting and well edited. Keep up the fine

work. I liked the theory of developing sex by ear and analogy!

Thanks for all your craftmanship.

I have really enjoyed your story! Pity it had to come to an end. Look forward to more of the same!

Well Techsan you have given us an exciting tale of the "Old West" and the people that made America great. I too am sorry to see such a well written tale come to an end. Thank you, it was refreshing to be entertained by such great writing. As to "Anonymous in THE OLD COUNTRY" – your tirade confirms the fact that "From arseholes comes shit!" Pete

I really liked this,but I can understand where you "DONT FOOL ME ",comes from you see you do not know apache history,or for that matter comanche.This story of course will appeal to many as your press verifies,but next time if you are going to write on a subject like this,please get your facts right.Having said that it was a great tale,but you really didnt know how to finish it did you AN APACHE/COMANCHE

Whether your tale is accurate or not did not matter to me. The story could be expanded into a novel and I would enjoy it. However the relationship and growing love of the couple was masterful. Words cannot express the complexities of love, but loving actions can. Thankyou

Your writing always inspires, love.

SW.

I love historicals, whether Western, medieval, regency, or more modern such as WWI or WWII. The attention to detail was very impressive. I also liked the development of the characters, from being 'isolationists' to a couple in love. I don't know if all the details are correct; one poster (who is partly/wholly native american) remarked that things did not ring truly. However for the average reader like me, this satisfies quite nicely. It's a well written piece of fiction. I hope you write more historicals. This is the first work that I've read from you, I got your name from DG Hear's works since you're his editor, and I'm inspired to read more. Thanks a lot for sharing your talent. Good luck!

A story that shows what a man can do with thye will to do anything. There is no doubt in my mind that is how the west was built. The sex was ok too. Thank you very much for a won derful story

Stumbled on it, I see why your name is refered to as a mentor or editer.

Love this kind of historic novels... the love seems so real.

I wish that there were more "Old West" Stories here. Thank You.

This was an excellent short novel, with very few mistakes about the events and times, and very few anachronisms. Note, not all the Apache bands were at war with the Comanche. It would be great to expand out the very last chapter: too much summary.

My own great-great-grandfather was such a man as this; although he brought a wife with him to settle in the Palo Pinto Country. But his wife was killed by Comanche raiders; but his next wife (my great-great-grandmother) was herself a mixed-blood Comanche-Apache girl. Fortunately (as I suspect would be the case with the four children of this couple), my great-grandfather refused to enroll at Fort Sill, preferring to live as a free Texian and NOT a reservation Indian.

I loved the whole series. It was well writen and was a easy read. My only nagative comment would be you rushed the last chapter to much. But the good thing is you can always write about the children and how they found love. well done can't wait for more from you.

fantastic story had to read it from start to finish very well done

Even though the setting is like "Little House on the Prairie" (only much farther south), the way you wrote the story reminds me of Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe." Everything is from the man's point of view, and except for erotic interludes, it mostly revolves around finding food, raising plants and animals. It would have been good to let "Moxie" tell part of the story from her point of view,

I once rode a Trailways Bus from San Antonio all the way to the Red River and I looked really hard to see if I could see Texas, but after all was said and done, I had to conclude that it must not be there...because I never did see it!

I still love stories about the frontier that was then Texas. Thank you for the story.

It is hard to find a nice Indian story. I loved it. I am part Creek Indian and my wife is descended from a red haired Indian woman from a tribe near Columbia SC. My Grandmother used to tell me she was allergic to the sun. What would happen she would turn bright red when in the sun and people would know she was an Indian. My Indian ancestor had a farm near Bray Alabama , it no longer exists. The story is 2 white men came to his farm questioning his darkness. They were run off with a shot gun.

Really enjoyed this ...........

I like stories about old times in the west, plus some erotic to flavor it up a little. One of the best stories I've ever read.

Really enjoyed your series, thanks from Australia!

It's a pleasure to read this series again, after nearly ten years. A perfect portrayal of life, when hard work and simple pleasures enhanced the day. Sadly the world has become so frantic in its' endeavour to out do itself. Now to return to some other older favourites.
