AUTHOR FAVOURITES: MASSACRE AT POINT OF ROCKS by DOUG HOCKING

When I asked Arizona-based western writer Doug Hocking which was his favourite of his books, he came up with 3 books he couldn’t decide between. Some people just can’t make up their minds!

So, given Doug has 3 joint-first favourites, check out this one - MASSACRE AT POINT OF ROCKS, based on a true story – how Ann White and her baby daughter were abducted by Jicarilla Apaches in 1849 and a reluctant Kit Carson was recruited to get her back.

Reviews:

‘Should be required reading for any student of American southwest history. Fun and informative tale of real life "cowboys and Indians".’

Jicarilla Apaches 1874

‘A Great Western Novel… Doug Hocking has done himself proud. His writing flows smoothly, his historical references are spot on, and his action exciting. I recently read Kit Carson's autobiography … Doug has captured much of this famous man and his exploits and deserves much credit for bringing him and his other wonderful characters to life. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.’
