Representaion Concering Books Hard Winter at Broken Arrow Crossing (The Legend of Stuart Brannon #1)
A HORRIFIC BLIZZARD WAS ONLY THE START OF STUART BRANNON’S TROUBLES.For a man who didn’t need another disaster, the fierce winter at Broken Arrow Crossing couldn’t have come at a worse time. Stuart Brannon had just abandoned his Arizona ranch, sick with grief after losing his family and his cattle. That’s when the vicious Colorado blizzard struck.
Half frozen, Brannon stumbles into the isolated stage station at the Crossing. There he finds a wounded prospector and sets about to nurse the man back to health. Winter storms bring other stragglers to the station — an abused, pregnant Indian girl and naïve gold seekers. Drawn into their desperate plights, Brannon plunges into a dangerous mission to rescue a boy from the Indians, and then himself becomes the target of an outlaw band.
Written in the tradition of Zane Grey, Luke Short, and Louis L’Amour, “Hard Winter at Broken Arrow Crossing” recreates the tumultuous old West where good battles evil.

When cold weather comes and the holidays arrive, I find myself drawn to reread favorite books from my youth. This was especially true this year, as I ran across my copy of Stephen Bly's Stuart Brannon's Final Shot, the one that he was writing when he died and which his family finished and published for him posthumously. Up until now I hadn't been able to bring myself to read it, but this time when I saw the cover I realized I was ready for another Bly adventure. But you can't just pick up andCold winterStuart Brannon is caught in a deadly winter blizzard & stumbles into the Broken Arrow supply cabin halfway up the mountain where the Little Yellowjacket gold strike is centered. He finds the cabin foreman buckshot & is attacked from behind. The man steals his horse--a big no-no. By the time he retrieves his horse and buries the thief & returns to the cabin, a very pregnant Indian girl is hiding in the barn. A band of Indians & a gang of thugs come at the ones in the
Not even close to Louis L'Amour or Zane Grey's caliber. Poor historical research and one dimensional characters that do not develop mar what could have been an interesting story. In fact, the protagonist was irritating enough that I will not likely continue the series (the only reason I was able to finish this book was because it was read to me).
A Hard Winter at Broken Arrow Crossing is an early and it's a gem of a story.Rancher and overall heroic type Stuart Bannon finds himself stranded at a cabin at Broken Arrow Crossing in the Winter with a minor named Everett Davis, who is tending the cabin for the Winter and has been shot in the back just before before Bannon arrives. Bannon has to tend to him because Winter has started and there's no way to get him to a Doctor. While the first fourth of the book are Bannon and Davis talking.
I didn't think I liked westerns, but this book hit the spot. Very easy reading but the writing is good and the characters are lovable.
An excellent western.
