Entertaining, April 16 2003
By TNreader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Man Named Yuma (Paperback)
Entertaining read with a captivating storyline. The author does an excellent job of portraying the compassion that the main character, Yuma Pike (loner/outcast) has for the individuals he suddenly is saddled with the responsibility of leading them to safety.

APACHE WITH AN ATTITUDE, July 6 2007
By Kay's Husband - Published on Amazon.com
Review is for the book: A MAN NAMED YUMA by Theodore V. OlsenFawcett Gold Medal Western
Yuma Pike is the son of an Apache chief and a captured white woman, which has left its marks on him as half Apache, half white, placing him "an outcast from two worlds". Further both his full Apache brother, Cipriano, and Yuma feel the Southwest is not large enough to hold both them, with a final meeting due to arrive any day now. Especially now that Yuma is caught with a group of travelling whites as Cipriano tries to massacre them all, and Yuma must become the leader he has always attempted to avoid.
Yuma Pike has been an Army scout, but mostly just "a natural born loner" who must now reach deep within to overcome his dislike of many whites and his treatment by them, to lead them out of his "no good murdering brother" Cipriano's encirclement. "Trapped under the deadly desert sun, he (Yuma) had one choice--kill or die".
Whether you read this western in a Gold Medal Classic edition from Fawcett of years back or the newer edition from July, 1996, from Leisure Books this is one western that offers up good value entertainment. But then almost any western by the late T.V. Olsen will always do the same.
P.S. Should you track down the Leisure Book edition you will find A MAN NAMED YUMA is combined with another T.V. Olsen western, BLIZZARD PASS. So from Leisure Books you get two westerns for the price of one.
Semper Fi.
