“Eyes of the Hawk was inspired by an old Texas legend about an embittered father who swore to kill the town that had killed his son, and let vengeance turn him into the man he hated most.” —Elmer... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a very good western. It is not filled with a lot of curse words or bad acts. It is really a story about the hate between two men. Thomas Canfield and Branch Isom. Canfield is called The Hawk on the back cover but I never did understand why or where that came into play. Canfield owns lots of land and cattle, Isom owns most of the business in town. They fight all the time. It is about their lives and the people around them. The ending will surprise you, it is very good. Kelton writes so you can feel like you are there. It is a book taht could have really happened. If you like a quick read with good characters that are well described and you can relate to, I think you will enjoy this book.
