A BRAND-NEW CLASSIC WESTERN SERIES FROM BEST-SELLING AUTHOR B.N. RUNDELL.

Every time he squeezed the trigger, somebody died. He thought it was just the way of the war, but after taking a couple bullets and being mustered out, it continued. When he stood over the ashes of his family’s farm and stared at their graves, the same bile rose in his throat, and he knew somebody was going to have to pay… and pay with their blood.

This was to be the beginning of a blood hunt that would take Reuben Grundy across four states, pit him against renegade outlaws posing as the Home Guard for the north, the Bushwhackers of Captain Quantrill and the men in butternut and grey, as well as the mighty Pawnee of the plains. His father had taught young Reuben to never look for others to do what needs to be done, even if it means putting his life on the line. And Reuben would do just that, with his training as one of Berdan’s Sharpshooters at the outset of the war between the states, and his own time beside his father in the woods, Reuben was destined to become one of the most feared hunters of the plains.

Whether it was for man or beast, when his sights settled on the target, death was sure to follow.

Terrible Editing ! Rufus the mule dies and magically comes alive. It is actually pretty funny.

Terrible Editing ! Rufus the mule dies and magically comes alive. It is actually pretty funny.
I have never seen anything like this in a book, and there are several other confusing areas in the book. The main character's mule called Rufus is killed, and several pages later the main character utilizes the mule (Rufus) to carry a dead body; when we the ready earlier was told that a horse was to be used. There are several confusing areas in this book where it seemed that the author had a hard time keeping track of details in the story. I have uploaded pictures of the test in order of the pages.I will keep reading to find out if Rufus dies again. How did this author get so many positive reviews?

I enjoy Runnells books. They are a great mixture of truth and fiction about people and lifestyles of that time. They always bring in the importance of faith in God and doing things right. Look forward to this series.

Well, I am surprised. I read a western semi romance story one day, now I have read everything C J Petit has written. Today I just finished a very good well written story about late/post civil war written by a minister.

I don't normally enjoy either genre, BUT SO FAR BOTH AUTHORS HAVE ME HOOKED.

Great characters all around, very well written, thoroughly enjoyable story, what more can I ask for. EXCEPT MORE! So I bought book two and will look for more books by this fine writer.
Thank you Mr Rundell

I started this book not knowing what to expect, and I loved it. I love westerns such as the Virginian and the life and legend of Wyatt Earp. To me it was just like a movie unfolding before my eyes. It was also a blessing that there was no cussing or sexual content. As a christian I do not read anything with such content. Overall a great book that is worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Review of a Trail to Redemption
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2022

Reuben Grundy had served as a sharpshooter for the Union forces and he and his brother had been in many battles. He was severely wounded as was his brother on his last battle. Unfortunately his brothers wounds were more severe and he died in Reubens arms after asking him to promise him to look after their folks and other brother. Reuben was discharged because of his wounds and the recuperation time and made his way home to Pigeon Point Michigan only to find his parents farm and barn burned to the ground. Three new graves with their names and his brother were in the family plot. When he went to his sisters farm it too was burned to the ground but there were no new graves. He located her and her husband in town and she told him what had happened. The Home Guard had killed their parents and burned the farm. He vowed to go after them and sought information from a former home guard person that gave him a direction to head. A well written action packed story. B. N. Rundell writes an excellent historically themed story. Great characters and the book flows well on his journey.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for a vengence tale
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2022

Revenge! Sure it is a common trope in westerns, but it is one that gets my attention each and every time. “You done my family wrong, now you gotta die!” “You shot my dog, now you gotta die!” “You killed my woman, now you gotta die!”, and the list goes on and on, and I live each and every one.

I came across B. N. Rundell’s The Trail To Redemption: The Plainsmen Western Series Book One a few months ago. It finally weaned its way to the top of my pile. I picked it up and tore through it like a twister!

Reuben Grundy is a soldier in the Union forces during the American Civil War. His time in the army is just about done when he is wounded along with his brother. Before his brother dies, he promises to protect their parents and the rest of the family. When Reuben gets him he finds his parent murdered and their farm burnt to the ground. He finds his sister and husband alive and they tell him that it was “The Home Guard” who did this. Men who are taking advantage of homesteaders, killing them then taking everything of value. The lowest of the low. Reuben goes on the trail of revenge to make these men pay. Reuben discovers that there is more than one home guard. It is a terrible job, but he is fighting for what is right. He will not stop until his God-given job is done.

As a revenge tale goes, this one is close to the top of the list for my favorite. You have a troubled hero who has had a belly full of killing in the war. He understands that he may have to kill again to stop these men from committing evil acts in the name of the home guard. He also understands that revenge may have to take a back seat to doing what is right. The writing is solid, and the story flows quickly. Reuben Grundy is a hero that I enjoyed following. I look further to his next adventures.

The one gripe I have is that the story gets a bit repetitive. Early on Reuben gets his vengeance, but as he travels west with a mother and son, he hears word of another home guard attacking innocent farmers and goes back on the trail. It keeps the story going, but there could have been other things to get the hero embroiled in aside from more vengeance.

All in all I give this 4 bookmarks out of 5!

This story is placed at the end of the Civil War as the two sides battled to a close, people tired of the war fled west, and those folks already settled in the upper mid-west helped the Travelers on their way. The author has crafted a strong new main character, Rueben, who safely leads a small group of folks to Ft Kearney on the 1st leg of their journey to Oregon.
