“I read it in four settings because it was exciting; almost like the author was reading the story out loud and in a live setting. This book is a cool combination of events that are happening today mixed with things from the days of cowboys. And being from the state of Missouri, it was even more fun to read since it was written around a midwestern setting. I’m ready to read the next chapter in the lives of Chet and Callie.”

“A great book with wonderful details about what life was like back during the final years of the 19th century… it makes the reader feel like they are there with the characters, sharing their experiences! If you love books with adventure, mystery, romance, drama and humor with a western flavor, then I would recommend this book!”

“An exciting novel by James R. Wilder chronicling the adventures of Chet Harbison, one of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders returning to his Midwestern home, fresh from the Spanish-American War. Chet struggles to come to terms with the changing world at the onset of the 20th Century, while building his life as a man in the town that last saw him as a boy. Each page drips with history and Wilder's true love for the Old West subject matter shines through, while the story's themes of building a life against the struggle of changing times while fighting for what is right are relevant to today's times. This is a great opening chapter in the “Harbison Mystery” series, which promises to be very exciting and I look forward to the next installment.”
