Uncompahgre: where water turns rock red Description
Review
"My love for Lonesome Dove has now been surpassed by the splendor of Threads West... is packed with adventure, romance, history, conflict, and emotion...a page-turner by an author with a deep love and respect for the unvarnished and rarely written about history of the American West,..The Native American threads ring true and poignant, as authentic and moving as Dances with Wolves...The women are not just eye candy in a costume historical...a real feel of how the West was won, by men AND women...Five stars is not enough!" ~Eve Paludan, Twice #1 Writers Digest National Bestselling Author"Fluent and strong... sensual, evocative and unforgettable... compared to Lonesome Dove and Centennial... Rosenthal's epic masterpiece will rival some of Louis L'Amour's best loved work."~
Lois Henderson, BookPleasures.com, MA General Linguistics, AD Library/Information Science
"Rosenthal's descriptions are stunning...But it's Rosenthal's people that just blew me away. They are as real--if not more so--as most of the people I have ever met...makes for a rich blend of perspective, and understanding. Americans started out on a million different paths, but it's the strength, determination, and perseverance that all American ancestors had in common, that created purpose. There's a lot to be said for that. And Rosenthal says it beautifully."~Alexandra Brown, Romantic Shorts"Just want to say how much I like this story. Johannes is a rascal, and I love rascals! Epic storytelling, detail, and dialogue. Rascals! Passion! Action! Keep writing the Threads West
series!" ~
