    Reviewed in the United States on 28 November 2012
    A Wounded Name was a very interesting and intriguing novel. It had many twists to the plot and true to the nature of Capt Charles King penmanship kept the interest of one reading it. The Comrade in arms that was his adversary thru his ordeal ended up with, probably sporting, a regret in his decision of the idealistic wife!!
    Would recommend this to those who enjoy reading about the military in the late 1800’s of old west .
