Praying for another sequel!

This is book two in the Man From Boston pair. One of the greatest frontier novels ever. Tons of history and lore about several native nations, contrasted with the white philosophy in the East. Characters are so well drawn I was sad to see it end. Hope that Mr. Gear has another one coming in this series because it is far better than the First Americans series in my opinion where the characters are not as deep and so numerous that they are hard to keep straight. This book gave me post-reading depression because its quality is hard to match. I felt the same way after reading Greg Matthews's Heart of the Country. Highly recommended.

Coyote Summer

The best book I've read all year, and i am an avid reader..The quality of the writing and research,along with the unforgettable characters makes this book impossible to put down..I enjoyed the prequel The Morning River, but this was even better..I think Richard, and Willow still have another story to tell....PLEASE//

Give us this Day

I don't know when a book has enthralled me more. I came away challenged to understand my surroundings and those folks around us. Historically Coyote Summer is with out peers. Please Micheal continue this story.

Solid work of historical western fiction

Having been raised in central Montana, I was waiting for historical or geographical innaccuracies. I found none. The writing was excellent and did an excellent job of portraying the relationships between the traders and the Native Americans. I felt it handled the issues of race and racism tactfully while at the same time hitting them head on. Highly reccommended.

Native Americana for the thinking man

The depth of research Gear did is obvious in the wealth of Indian culture, tradition and practice. Gear takes Vine DeLoria's "God is Red" and puts flesh on the bones, and tells a story with riveting action and characters you care about. In addition to making his contrast of Christianity with Tribal Religion come to life, he also illustrates the Union of Polarities thesis.

The Bibliography at the back of the book is a reading list I will be looking closely at. The quotes from Socrates, Plato, Kant, Hobbes and Hegel, et. al., at the Chapter head give you a good intro into the chapter, and are worth reading as well
