My review of a fantastic book I just finished!
Loved it, Loved it.... did I say I Loved it!
Rescue at Pine Ridge, written by Erich Martin Hicks
I would like to tell you how I discovered one of the best books I have ever read. A friend of mine on Facebook was speaking about a book he had just read… And since I spent summers visiting my grandparents in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, I was intrigued and ordered it immediately!
I then proceeded to look at the author's page on Facebook. He intrigued me as well… He is actually a fascinating man from California. We exchanged a few brief messages back-and-forth and told him I had ordered his book.
I have always been interested in stories of the heroic Buffalo soldiers and here was a book that combined childhood summers and history!
This author not only brings history to life within the pages of his book, but, he makes you an active participant... seeing, smelling, feeling, all the sites and sounds of the battles in the West (post-Civil War) by heroes not often brought to life in history books.
As you turn the final pages... you wish that you were again at the beginning of the book… To have lived through Erich Martin Hicks' (author) words, the characters have become real, become your relatives, friends, heroes.... and you don't want to say goodbye to them after you turn the final pages.
Rescue at Pine Ridge: Based on a True American Story
I look forward to any books this young author has in store for us... his writing is exceptional and brings history to LIFE!

Rescue at Pine Ridge is a well researched, very enlightening book about the Buffalo Soldiers dating from the Civil War to the Native American conflicts. They were a group of heroic men who have never been shown in our history books to be the heroes they truly are. Having this book available in the public library is a good step forward, now if we can only get it made available in our schools, we may actually be moving forward. Thank you to Erich Hicks for putting these heartfelt words in print. A very enjoyable read.
