Joe Fox (Real or a Legend)
28 April 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
As usual Charles G. West has written another great Western.This one features Joe Fox, is he white or indian, real or legend. He can appear and disappear like a puff of smoke. He has agreed to leave his mountains and lead a group of settlers through the Rockies toward Oregon. They have to spend the winter in a settlement because snow has closed the mountain passes.
Young Callie Simmons has fallen for Joe but her parents borbid him to see her. Joe heads back to his mountains. Then Max Starbeau, part of the original group, takes off with Callie. The rest have to try to get Joe Fox to track him down.
Joe starts after him for Callie's sake and Callie's only. There are many twist and turns involving finding Callie, including indians, bank robbery and many people after Fox.
Will he find her? What shape will she be in when and if he does? Will she go on to Oregon and Joe back to his beloved mountains? Read and see. A great western action book. Hard to put down when you start it. If you like westerns and have not read any by Charles G. West please do so. I think you will enjoy them.

The Blackfoot Trail
By: Charles G West
The Blackfoot Trail is another great western by Charles G West. The detail and descriptions bring to life the characters and the area around them. Once you pick the book up, you won't want to put it back down until Joe Fox's and Callie Simmons' stories are told. Will they overcome their obstacles and realize they belong together?
Callie Simmons is on a mule train with her parents and others heading to Oregon. They have hired a man named Skinner to lead them. Turns out, he doesn't know where he is going. Malcolm Lindstrom and Pete Watson hire Joe Fox to help them find Malcolm's brother and the mule train. They haven't telegraphed to say they made it through, and if they don't get out soon, they will be snowed in. Fox agrees to help them find the mule train. When he does, they ask him to lead them to Oregon. Skinner was fired and no one else knows how to get to Oregon. He says it is too late and they need to prepare for winter by building shelters and bringing in food. He stays to help, but keeps his camp separate. Callie brings him food and coffee, and talks to him. Her father and mother, Jake and Cora, warn Fox to stay away from their daughter. He listens, but then trouble comes in the form of Max Starbeau.
Mr. West has done his research for this book. Reading how the families build the caves to live in during the winter, the trouble with the Indians in the area--the Blackfoot and the Gros Ventre, the frightening circumstances that Callie faces when she is kidnapped by Starbeau, and how Fox tracks her down and returns her to her family are so well-written you can see what is happening as it is described. If you love adventure with just a touch of romance, you will love this book. The Blackfoot Trail is a must read for anyone who loves Louis L'Amour westerns, historical fiction westerns, or who wants a great book to read. Charles G West is a must read author! I am looking forward to reading other books by him.

A great read
16 April 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the first novel I have ever read by Mr. West. He is a most capable writer in the western genre. The characters were absorbing as was the action scenes. I won't hesitate to place him right up there with Louis L'amour.The plot moves along fairly quickly and we really feel for the young lady who is kidnapped and tortured first by a murderous and evil man who had joined the wagon train and then traded to a band of Indians (who were equally tortuous) all the while being tracked by the intrepid hero/mountain man Joe Fox. This was an engrossing read and I highly recommend it even if your not a particular fan of the genre. I hope to see more tales of the mountain man Joe Fox, but in the meantime I can't wait to read Mr. West's other tales of the old west. Write on, brother!
