Blood on the Prairie (Brothers of the Mountain, Story #5)

David L. Robbins (Oregon writer)

---

It is difficult enough to recover from the trauma of war much less, returning home to changes imposed by the government. Invasion of Carpetbaggers, scalawags and new laws that flipped everything they knew upside down. I learned many great facts about this time period.

Life goes on, Helms did a great job showing us how some characters survive, and others perish. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about families during the Civil War and how the Reconstruction period shaped our history. I appreciated the end of book two where the Malburn family genealogy is outlined. I felt invested in the family and wanted to know how each member lived and died at the end of the story. My only regret is that the books are not combined into one larger novel.

I think it would read very well as a larger piece. Thank you for another great read Michael. Aug 27, A. Klemm rated it really liked it. We like to flee into other eras when humans are the same, but the world is so different. My favorite tidbit about Helms series is that he was inspired by two elderly brothers he once knew as a boy, who had a Confederate veteran father. Ideas sort of sprout and grow from nothing more than a vibe or a passing fancy, very rarely rooted in much of substance other than things our subconscious has gathered and created from nearly thin air.

That Helms remembers these gentleman who told him stories as a boy is marvelous to my scattered mind. Read my full review here: Apr 09, Larry B Gray rated it it was amazing. Michael Helms and I am at a loss for words. You know that feeling of being a peace and totally satisfaction that comes over you after something wonderful has occurred. That is the way I feel now, complete.

Throughout both of the books the author did an outstanding job of telling a tale which captured both my heart and soul. As I read books I became caught up and was dreading the ending. But, when it came, E. Michael Helms brought it all together leaving me with of closure. Now don't get me wrong.

Both of these books are full of action and adventure.

There is great detail told of the horrors of American Civil War and its aftermath. The author stuck to historical facts about the major events he described of the war. If you like historical fiction and you are a Civil War buff, like me, you will love this series.

I really liked Of Blood and Brothers: Books 1 and 2 by E. Michael Helms and I highly recommend them to all readers. I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
