Ralph Compton stood six-foot-eight without his boots. His first novel in the Trail Drive series, The Goodnight Trail, was a finalist for the Western Writers of America Medicine Pipe Bearer Award for best debut novel. He was also the author of the Sundown Rider series and the Border Empire series. A native of St. Clair County, Alabama, Compton worked as a musician, a radio announcer, a songwriter, and a newspaper columnist before turning to writing westerns. He died in Nashville, Tennessee in 1998.
It didn't read like a western, but it still delivered on action. That being said, the author sometimes drew things out too long, and at times his dialog seemed obvious and overstated. A reader shouldn't go, "I know..okay, I know..." Still, a good read.......more
