Bitter Trail is not your typical western, but the lead character is. Frio Wheeler--no relation that I know of, except I've been told there were some Wheelers who went to Texas early on--but Frio is one of those strong individuals who after his freight wagons were attacked, his load of cotton burnt, his mules driven off, gets more wagons, more mules, and more cotton to haul. Even when he is captured and tortured in attempt to force him to quit hauling cotton he manages to escape and keeps his wagons moving. This is a story of how the Civil War affected people in Texas; it was a severely divided state. Elmer Kelton always does an excellent job incorporating history into his books. An exceptional read I think anyone would enjoy.
