Books like Matt Jensen, the Last Mountain Man

\ A limping dog walks into a bar and says, "I'm lookin for the man who shot my paw!"\ That's our story. Young Matt Jensen sees his family brutally murdered as they cross the plains and chases down the killers when he's older. There were some highlights here. I always enjoy a straight-talking, no nonsense western hero. But our heroes (there are a couple) are the only people in this book that don't end up full of bullet holes. And woe be to any female characters. From school marm to town floozy (those seem to be the only life-options available to you) - if you're female in this world, it's only a matter of time before getting your brains blown out (after devoting your "heart of gold" to our hero, naturally).So, I guess I'm saying it was a bit thin on supporting characters and world building. But ain't nobody got time for that when there's bad dudes who need to be put down!
