HUNTING WOLF

This novel of the gold country West by Ann Ahlswede, as in her other novels, is a gripping example of how character and story development should be done in the writing of fiction. We are given, in beautifully sculpted descriptions, a violent injustice and the subsequent raw emotions of rage and hatred and a driving compulsion for revenge - with a challenging resolution. We are also given compassion and the beauty of the American West. Ms. Ahlswede's DAY OF THE HUNTER and THE SAVAGE LAND will please as well.

A most enjoyable read

A compelling tale of villany, revenge, and redemption set in the American West following the Civil War, this is a beautifully written story of a man's struggle with loss and outrage and pain - "one man's feeble testament for justice." It is also a tale of delightfully crafted characters of the old West and their adventures through the gold fields of Colorado and beyond - and beautiful descriptive passages of the stark, unspoiled beauty of the post-Civil War West. A book to enjoy and a book to challenge one's notions of injustice and revenge.

Hunting Wolf

Hey! This is NOT a book about hunting for wolves. On publication it was well reviewed and went into several editions, including school-use additions. Its a tale of average people and gross injustice set in historic times. Its a good, solid read.
