Don Coldsmith was an American author of primarily Western fiction. A past president of Western Writers of America, Coldsmith wrote more than 40 books, as well as and hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles. His “Spanish Bit Saga,” a series of related novels, helped to re-define the Western novel by adopting the point of view of the Native Americans, rather than the European immigrants.
Very good "Western" story. It's actually not like your normal American Western tale. Lots of nicely developed characters and a nice continuing storyline. Recommended
In the last book "Trail From Taos" the time period was 1680 and Looks Far was dead and his son Prairie Dog was the medicine man. This book takes place 6 years after TFT but the date is late 1660s and Looks Far is still alive. I wish authors would stick to their timeline.
