A Thousand Texas Longhorns

Praise

Praise for Johnny D. Boggs
 
“Johnny D. Boggs is one of today’s major writers in the western genre…Filled with bandits, bad weather, prairie fires, Indian attacks, disgruntled drovers, and stampedes, [A Thousand Texas Longhorns] has everything a western aficionado would love. It’s written by a masterful storyteller, and I cannot praise this book enough.” – Historical Novels Review, EDITOR’S PICK for A Thousand Texas Longhorns
 
“Boggs’ gift for memorable storytelling rises to its highest level in Return to Red River…bringing the reader to a dramatic, page-turning cattle drive, leading to an unforgettable ending. All this is set against Boggs’ impeccable research of place and time.” —True West on Return to Red River
 
“Moves with impeccable pacing and crisp realism, from its stark beginning to the fireball climax.”
—Roundup Magazine on Return to Red River
 
“Johnny D. Boggs’ strongest, purest Western to date. Boggs excels at describing the uniquely beautiful, if somewhat brutal, terrain of the Southwest. The Killing Shot is a Western in the classic sense, full of living, breathing characters and boasting a story that never sags.” —Tucson Weekly
 
“Boggs’ historical asides are aided by a narrative style that drive the story along full gallop.” —True West on The Despoilers
 
“Boggs has once more written a humdinger of a book with wonderful characters, even the villains. The Despoilers tears at one’s heart, which is what really good fiction should do.” —Roundup Magazine
 
“Boggs is among the best Western writers at work today. He writes with depth, flavor, and color, all of which are evident in this right-of-passage tale…Boggs tells the familiar story with authenticity and power.” –Booklist on The Lonesome Chisholm Trail
