Slaughter

My first Elmer Kelton book and it was incredible. He tells the story of the points of view of Buffalo skinners as well as the Indians to the point where you feel sorry for both sides and don't know which side is right or wrong. He includes romance, betrayal, thievery, gallantry, and internal conflict with integrity. My favorite character was Smithwick although his integrity got in the way of what I wanted him to do sometimes.
