Praise for the novels of Terry C. Johnston

CRY OF THE HAWK

“This novel has the epic sweep of the frontier built into it.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Will stain the reader with grease, blood, and smoke.”

—Kirkus Reviews

THE SON OF THE PLAINS TRILOGY

“Terry Johnston is the genuine article when it comes to storytelling, but you can also depend on his having done his historical homework. His Custer trilogy is proving this significant point, just as his Indian wars and mountain man books prove it. I admire his power and invention as a writer, but I admire his love and faith in history just as much.”

—Will Henry, author of From Where the Sun Now Stands

“[Johnston] has so immersed himself in the history of the Plains Indians and in Custer’s history that, were novels not his forte, he could very well write a book on Custer and his final battle to match that of … Evan Connell.”

—Dale L. Walker, Rocky Mountain News

CARRY THE WIND, BORDERLORDS, AND

ONE-EYED DREAM

“Johnston’s books are action-packed … a remarkably fine blend of arduous historical research and proficient use of language … lively, lusty, fascinating.”

—Gazette-Telegraph, Colorado Springs

“Rich and fascinating … There is a genuine flavor of the period and of the men who made it what it was.”

—The Washington Post Book World

“Slick with survival-and-gore heroics and thick with Northwest-wilderness period detail (1820-40), this gutsy adventure-entertainment is also larded with just the right amounts of frontier sentiment.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Johnston offers memorable characters, a great deal of history and lore about the Indians and pioneers of the period, and a deep insight into human nature, Indian or white.”
