The Land Tamers by Stephen Bly

I give this book 5 stars, but would give it much more. How 3 unlikely people become friends, which faced gunfights, robberies, romance, family, war and ambush. Sandy Thompson's family all died in the war and he's going west to see last living sister, Montana Mudd befriends him on the train. After he gets hit over the head in which Mudd is a part of the reason, Mudd escapes and leaves Sandy. He then meets famous No Neck Mowery in the wilderness, he has a daughter half Indian, then there is an ambush, No Neck dies, Sandy must take Mowery, No Necks daughter to the missionary school. Meets up with Mudd again, has Indian fights, finally showdown with Yankee officer. Runs from his past, but it always catches up with him. Sandy then meets his friend from his childhood who is a sheriff now. The overall message is inspiring and it tells us not to ever give up in our dreams. Things happen and we find we're not going the way we thought we should but God always knows where we are going and why. It was very entertaining and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. It's a book you will want to finish in one setting. I would highly recommend this book to everyone who loves westerns, fighting the odds, romance and not giving up. I always like to look in the book to see where the title comes in. This book to me it seems like it took all kinds of people from all walks of life to tame the land. No matter who we are we are all important and play a role in life. The Land Tamers is very suspenseful at times like the stampeding cattle, the Indian fight to win Mowery and the ending of the book, which you don't want to miss. Epilogue has facts about people from the story. Really interesting and informative. You will absolutely want this book for your collection. This book was given to me by the author for review purposes.
