Trepidation Trail edition by Gary Crawford Ibn Akbar Literature Fiction eBooks


“I be need’n that horse. You step down easy like.”
“I told you he’s not for sale,” Clay said tersely.
“I ain’t buying, I’m taking,” the man said.
“What’s your name mister?” Clay asked.
“What you need to know that fer?”
“Well, if you are to be a horse thief you can be shot or hung. It’s only fit’n that I know your name to notify your next of kin,” Clay said.
When Clay Anderson signed on as a scout for Asa Clark’s wagon train, it was partly because Asa was his father’s friend, and partly to be near Asa’s beautiful daughter, Lucetta. Now, he was fast learning why the Oregon Trail was also known as the trepidation trail.
“Rustlers, horse thieves, war parties, and just plain no-good scoundrels, Trepidation Trail is a western designed to entertain the avid western fan.”
– Major Mitchell, author of Mokelumne Gold

I enjoyed the story of this book - I enjoyed the main characters; however I think that the author really got off the mark with his female character "Lucetta". I got the picture that she was a beautiful woman; but the author took this to the extreme. Everytime the story line included Lucetta; he droned on and on about her; everytime she went into a new town; everytime some one new came into the picture they were absolutely dumb founded by her extreme beauty - men and women alike. I believe the author was trying to impress upon the reader not only her beauty; but her strength.......however instead of strength of character I saw her as a spoiled, conceited brat that paraded her beauty; sexuality and spoiled stubbornness. If you want to see strong; beautiful women on a wagon Train read "Six Women West" - like Lucetta they were all excellent marksmen; knew how to ride and their way around horses; and had physical beauty as well; except they used their attributes in a positive way. Also during the late 1800's young unmarried women did not rub their legs up and down the legs of young men under the dinner table of young men they had just met; they did not openly smooch; and lay all over young men they were attracted to. They did not display their affections in public or at the swimming hole w/the man only in his pants; no shirt. The story line was good; just got tired of the constant affirmations of Lucetta and not holding true to the public display of affections of the times; which kind of ruined the authenticy of the story.Product details

Trepidation Trail edition by Gary Crawford Ibn Akbar Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Worth it! Better than most on same subject.
Worth the read!!!
this was a good book
I started out really liking this book. Half way through, the main characters start having one adventure after another. Before I knew it, I was tired from all their adventures.
Very enjoyable!! Great quality of writing and the detail was just right. I'm excited to read Gary's new book "California Ranger Missing In The Mother Lode" California Ranger Missing In The Mother Lode We need more authors like Gary Crawford and more stories like Trepidation Trail. Thanks Gary! Keep it up!!
I found myself thinking of the story while waiting to read it some more. I didn't want to put it down. I loved the way the story was realistic. It had ups and downs like in real life. Thank you for such a wonderful story, I have no doubt everyone lived happily ever after, I just wish there was more!
An exciting story with wonderful characters you will love. Couldn't put it down, now my eyes are tired. Hope the writer has more stories to tell!
I enjoyed reading Trepidation Trail to the point of having trouble putting it down. Having read some of his other works I believe this book shows Mr. Crawford’s growth as a writer, and I would encourage him to further pursue historical fiction. It’s quite obvious that he holds in high esteem the value of family and strong and lovely women. His portrayal of his main characters is clear and concise so that the reader becomes attached to the “good” folks, and despises the “bad” ones. In addition, Mr. Crawford appears to have a “sturdy” knowledge and “feel” for the times he has depicted in this novel. I commend him on a fine piece of writing, and again, would encourage him to continue in this genre to perhaps challenge the likes of Louis L’Amour.
