Comments by William Haskett

I think that the Painted Horse tied Combs two previous works together well. It answered alot of the situations in the earlier books. I found it to have a superb plot all the way through. I wonder if there is any connection between Harry Combs and the character he writes about.

Fascinating in its own right...

While "The Legend of The Painted Horse" is not on the lofty levels of "Brules" and "The Scout", I don't think it was ever intended to be. Nonetheless, I'll always remember exactly where I was (at rhe gym) and exactly what I was doing (riding a stationary bike) when Combs tied together all the elements of the Brules story. I was emotionally overwhelmed. A fabulously romantic ending to an incredible story. I thought the painted horse history was pretty cool, too. The entire Brules saga is one of the best reads in my well read life. Tolkein, Mary Stewart, Roger Zelazny, Edgar Rice Burroughs, for me, Combs belongs among them.

Fitting ending to the Brules Saga

As a big fan of Harry Comb's works in the Brules and The Scout books, I have just finished "The Legend of the Painted Horse".
And I still havent formed an opinion of it yet. It sounded kinda corny compared to the brutish scenes of the previous two novels , yet, it was innocent in an appealing way.
Brules and The Scout are perhaps the most treasured of all the books I have ever read, and I find myself reading them again from time to time, since the first time I read both of them.."The Legend of the Painted Horse" tried to end mystique of Cat Brules in a modern way, and in Steven Cartwrights telling of his life with Brule and the interplay was a tribute. I am glad that Mr.Combs wrote about the West in the way he did. It reflects on how much our lives have changed from the simple raw times of a hundred years ago. Steven Cartwright in a way, was also a true individual, just set in a more recent era. As I am closing this review, I decided that the book was good....so I rated it high based upon my sentimentality...from now on when ever I see a Painted horse, this book will come to mind.

R.I.P - Cat Brules, who made his own choices in life.
