Eckert’s hardest book to read felt like he just sometimes wanted to just fill pages, still a great teller of stores. Also felt he wrote for the money! I hope he finds new subjects because he’s a great writer and story tell of history.

I only rate this book a 4, because the first book in the series, “The Frontiersman” is the best, and I rated it a 5. But really, this book is great reading. The Black Hawk War is a story not told often, but like usual, Eckert tells it very well here and keeps the reader’s interest all the way through.
If your kid is bored with history, this series of books should make him not so bored.

Allan Eckert is in my opinion one of the very best story tellers ever! If you like early American history then you would like this series. I highly recommend it to all of my friends.

This is one of the weaker books in Eckert’s series, but it was still a good read. I’d recommend it for any Eckert fan, or any other American-History fan. You should definately read the other books in the series!!!

Not only is Twilight of Empire a great book, but the whole winning of america series are, without a doubt, the best stories ever told. I would recommend them to anyone, even those not very interested in history. You have got to read these!
