What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Elkhorn Tavern is undoubtedly Douglas Jones’s finest novel. The characters are unforgettable, the atmosphere wonderfully detailed, the action and suspense skillfully maintained.”—Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
“Douglas C. Jones writes what might be called historical novels, but they are much more than that. They are stirring word pictures of the way things really were in this country not so long ago… Elkhorn Tavern is even better than the books that preceded it.”—Associated Press
“Jones is a meticulous craftsman whose dialects, dialogues, settings and sayings seem so right and natural that one has the satisfying feeling of having read a novel without one false note.”—San Francisco Sunday Examiner
“A fine, uncompromising, unusually angled piece of Civil War fiction-from a master of gritty historical[s].”—Kirkus Reviews
