“A traditional western that depends more on character than plot . .
. This is definitely a thinking man’s or woman’s novel.”—Roundup
Magazine
“One-Eyed
Cowboy Wild is a refreshing version of the stories that first
set the Western before its audience. [It] is a Western in the form
of classics like The Virginian. . . . Prepare yourself to
experience the Western the way it was before gratuitous violence was
the American way of entertainment.”—Springdale, AR, News

he has turned out another fine traditional Western.”—Roundup

NORTH OF CHEYENNE
“North
of Cheyenne is a deliberately paced Western with an emphasis on

as a triangle around the chuckwagon at

average writer.

and ranch life well enough for you to chew the dirt with his
characters as this tale unfolds.”—True

more than most writers. . . .
Rancho Alegre is another fine
example of how good a traditional Western can be.”
--Roundup
Magazine
LONESOME RANGE
“Few
writers are as adept at capturing the loneliness of the range as
John D. Nesbitt, who knows both the brutality and beauty of

ill-timed love, interjecting it with believable characters, rich
dialogue, and a love of literature and language.”—Roundup

as a Western, Raven Springs

youngsters anymore.”—Roundup
