    Funny you should send that - I've been debating on whether to ask about the sequel??? And was reading up on Bill Tilghman the lawman that was shot by a federal agent - which was Wiley Lynn - Kevin's mother's side kin. The book: You Know my Name. -- wow history!
    Kevin is related to Wiley Lin? How interesting! I love how history reaches out to touch us a little more closely sometimes than what we're usually aware of, if we're aware at all. I have a side kin connection to Meriwether Lewis way back some 215-ish years ago thay I didn't know about until we did Ancestry.com and I was able to start digging in to my family tree. You know, somehow a young Louis L'Amour met Bill Tilghman and learned things about gunfighting and other things from him before Tilghman was killed. LL credits BT in one of his novel dedications for showing him how it was done, or sometihng like that.

    Regarding a sequel, yes, there will be at least one. I need to get off my butt and do it. It's just a first chapter and a lot of notes and ideas presently. I'm bound and determined to finish that Reacher/Longmire crossover story first. It's soooo close now.

    Again congratulations— this was a wonderful book. I’ll tell everyone I can.
    BTW, 4, thank you so much for the review you left (using Kevin's name?). Another review came in recently from "Riley and Jen". Do you know them by any chance. Usually when reviews come in a cluster there's a connection. If you do, please tell them thank you for me!

    I reported that I was reading the Lee Child biography "The Reacher Guy" a couple of weeks ago. Not finished it yet as I have broken off to read Find Them Dead by Peter James. The Roy Grace series, excellent as this series always are. Then I moved on to The Darkest Evening by Ann Cleeves. This is the latest in the "Vera" series and also very good. I haven't abandoned The Reacher Guy and will return to it eventually. It's just that my latest reads are from the library so want to finish them before I have to return them.

    Also The Reacher guy is the kind of book you can leave and return to. Should be back on it soon, unless one of the other books I have ordered from the library becomes available.

    Will have to look into that Gis!

    Dan: this was in the "frontier section" at the Ford's Museum ... among many things - maybe you've been there with your son living in Flint. I was amazed! That knife-gun. gun-knife is awesome!
    I have not been there! I'll have to put it on my list!
