This is very much a book of its period. It is like an old Western movie where the Native Americans are played by white guys in makeup. The hero has such delicate feelings for the woman he lost. Everything has such a patina of yesteryear. People may once have talked and behaved like the characters in this book, but more likely they only talk and behave with such sensibility in books. Nevertheless I saw this book included in an anthology of classic Westerns and decided to read it. It is a very short, one day read.
