The Return of Crow Feather and Jeff Layne
Indeed two of the characters reappear in this book who were in the novel Slaughter, which I disliked. This book is better. Jeff Layne has decided he wants to settle down to a quiet life as a Texas rancher. Good luck with that! His plan called for him to drive his herd of cattle to a far away canyon where the buffalo used to roam. Here we find Crow Feather trying to hold together the remnants of his tribe who have been scattered because of the lack of buffalo. Same canyon, right? The inevitable fight between the two is renewed. Elmer Kelton wrote some fantastic books during his long career as a writer. But as with most writers their early stuff is the best. At least it is for me.
