Critical Reviews
"Riveting . . . monumental . .. . Not only does Blood and Thunder capture a pivotal moment in U.S. history in marvelous detail, it is also authoritative and masterfully told."
--The Washington Post Book World "Stunning. . . Both haunting and lyrical, Blood and Thunder is truly a masterpiece."
--Los Angeles Times "We see a panorama and a whole history, intricately laced with wonder and meaning, coalesce into a story of epic proportions, a story full of authority and color, truth and prophecy . . . Sides fills a conspicuous void in the history of the American West."
--N. Scott Momaday, The New York Times Book Review "From the lean crisp descriptions of the characters to the sights, sounds and smells of the trail, this is a crystal clear picture of the West." --San Antonio Express News
