**********
“In his debut novel, Duncan’s Posse, Sid Brown has achieved the right blend of elements to capture the reader’s imagination. Love, war, grief and joy, plus appropriate dollops of humor, make this a recipe for reading enjoyment. The story is rich in vibrant characters and historical content. This skillfully woven and interwoven post Civil War saga of Mathew Duncan is absorbing, compelling and satisfying. ”
Betty Hartzog, Editor, Retired
“I was excited to read the manuscript of Duncan’s Posse. Based on past experiences with the author’s attention to detail in his living history efforts, I expected it to be top notch. It did not let me down. I was captivated by a town that is no longer active. His presentation spurred my imagination to relive the past. The story drew me in, feeling that I knew the characters. As a longtime horseman, Civil War re-enactor, and three time cowboy at Scouting’s Philmont, I felt as though I rode with the posse. The story of this unusual band of characters takes a few twists and turns, with an unexpected ending. Justice is certainly served.” Dan Jenkins, Law Enforcement Professional & Horseman
“Duncan’s Posse is a very well written and entertaining book. Each chapter was exciting! I found myself drawn back to the story even when time would not allow me to continue reading. The author makes you feel what the characters are feeling. I highly recommend this book. You will not be disappointed.”
