The Civil War has beaten down Jeb Patton beyond the point of mere exhaustion. Only the precious memories of the girl he left behind sustains him as he fights on. He should have died countless times as he fought for Southern Cause and Jeb knows his luck is running mighty low. Fate catches up to him one night near a no-name town somewhere in war-torn Arkansas. Instead of waking up in the arms of an angel, he wakes up in a medical tent—his right leg gone. With this blow Jeb loses the desire to live, until he meets a man even more severely injured than himself. Taking strength from this unfortunate fellow soldier's misery, the newly discharged Jeb makes plans to head home. It's not an easy road, and Jeb is hampered by his injuries, the dangers of bushwackers and Union soldiers who are raiding the countryside. Ironically Jeb befriends an old slave—now a runaway heading north to freedom. Together they stand a better chance of surviving the chaos and they team up in their travels. Challenges and heartache await them on the dusty trail, but the pair set out for Montana with little more then their courage and dreams of a better tomorrow. Another exciting historical adventure, and story of friendship and bravery from best selling western author W.R. Benton.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Silently Beat the Drums is an Excellent First Book in a Series that, I Hope, will be Keeping us Entertained for Years. By Bill Anderson Length: Print 316 pages; Audible, not available but it definitely should be.This book is targeted to .Action-Adventure, this is a Western with a twist.What was the Amazon Rank on the date this review was published? 12,720.Is this a book that I can read without having to read others first?.Yes, this is the first in a series.Are there a lot of typos/misspellings, grammatical errors or other editing failures? No. I do think, though, that it would be a better read if the author had stayed with the recommendations of Stephen King and other proven writers, when writing dialogue. As you can see by the below excerpt, the writer chose to write dialogue in the manner in which the ear records the sound, so as to indicate the ethnicity or geographical background of the speaker, using ‘ya’ instead of you, and so forth. There was a time when this method was common, but it is a bit confusing to readers.Is this a fast, easy read or is it more of a leisure read? This is a definite page turner and a fast, easy read.What sort of language does this writer use to amplify the points made? Adult English. Although there are no f-bombs, and only a few sh-words, I consider the language and the topic to be Adult, although certainly, if it were a movie, it would probably be rated NC-13 for language and, perhaps, for graphic violence.My biggest pleasure or disappointment was? Other than trying to capture accents and ethnical differences through spelling of the spoken dialogue, I have only praise for this first installment in a series that I hope will not stop at three, four or five books. Down the road, in fact, I expect to see spin-offs to what could well rival Matt Bolan’s The Executioner series of books.My biggest disappointment is that it has not been converted into an audiobook for release at Audible. I reckon Jeb Patton could become a viral hit with just the right promotion…maybe even a movie someday.EXCERPTJeb took a seat on the same log as the man started to prepared dinner. He looked at the girl and saw big tears running down both cheeks and her nose was running. She had not moved once since he’d first seen her. Taking a piece of cloth he carried from his rear pocket, he handed it to the girl.“What brings ya here, girl?” he asked in a soft voice as she took the rag from his hand.“Yankees kilt my pa yesterday. They kilt him because they wanted to rape me and pa tried to fight ‘em.” she replied and started crying again.Jeb let her cry, because he knew from experience that sometimes crying was the best medicine, or that’s what his momma always told him anyway. He watched as Moses skinned the rabbit and cut it into chunks of tender white meat. Then the old man placed the greens, onions, roots, and rabbit into the pot of boiling water. Jeb was always surprised how the old man could make a meal out of almost nothing.“They hanged him, the Yanks did. Why did they do that to him? I thought the Yankees came to make us free! My daddy never hurt nothin’. He was a kind and hard workin’ man. Why would they kill him, suh?” the young girl asked between sobs.“I ain’t got answers to that, girl. I don’t understand a lot of things goin’ on in the world these days. Ya got a name? Or, do I keep callin’ ya girl?” Jeb asked. He didn’t bring the rape up, because the thought of discussing it embarrassed him.“My name’s Faye, but I ain’t got no last name. Slaves never have a last name, unless they take the masters name.” Faye said and then gave a big shudder and a loud groan.“Well, Faye, nice to meet ya. If ya are goin’ to be with us tonight, ya have to do your share of the work. If ya don’t work, ya don’t eat. Okay?”“Sounds fair ‘nough, but what can I do?” she asked and then sniffled loudly.“Go gather up all the dead wood ya can find, because it is going to be a cold and wet night. Ya’ll sleep warmer with a fire goin’ all night. Then, when yer done, we’ll all have dinner.” Jeb watched as the young girl walked into the woods to get the wood. It had worked, at least for the time being. He hoped by keeping her busy over the next few days her grief would be kept to a minimum and she would start to heal. She is a strong one to take what she’s experienced and even keep moving, Jeb thought as he pulled out a plug of tobacco and took a bite. As he worked the chew in his mouth he gave thought to her situation.He considered adding her to their small group, knowing it would only cause problems for them. After all, he was already traveling with one black and there was no way he could see himself taking on another one, especially one this attractive. Jeb knew having a beautiful young woman along would eventually lead to trouble. I need to give this some serious thought, before I ask her to travel with us.Jeb learned the hard way, a long time ago, that physical attraction could cause a lot of serious trouble between a man and a woman. He learned it when his girlfriend, Edna, had gotten pregnant after a few rolls in the hay with him. He tried to marry her to make things right, but her daddy wouldn’t allow that to happen. As a matter of fact, her father had tried to kill him. Jeb was forced to leave a good paying job in St. Louis and head back home to avoid a fight. No, the girl would be helped and then she would be sent on her way.Moses was humming “Rock of Ages” as he cooked and as usual, Jeb was still amazed at the quality of the old mans voice. He felt a dull pain in his missing leg and repositioned the stub on the log.“This stew will be done in ‘bout ten minutes. It ain’t much food fer three people. How come ya didn’t get us a deer or a bear?” Moses grinned.“Well now, I guess the good Lord decided that we should be eatin’ rabbit tonight and not deer, and I ain’t hardly strong ‘nough to take on no bear either. I took what was offered.” Jeb said and then chuckled.“I’ll be doin’ me a heap of prayin’ tonight that the Lord will let us have a deer tomorrow then. Mayhap we can find one, jes’ like that chicken back a ways, that can talk to us.” As soon as he said it, Moses burst into a loud laugh.Jeb was still laughing with Moses when Faye returned with her fifth load of squaw wood. It was all wet due to the recent rains, but she laid the wood out near the fire to help it dry out.“Faye, that’s enough fire wood, this will last us the night.” Jeb said as he took two plates out of his saddlebags. “Ya and Moses eat first and then I’ll eat. I ain’t as hungry as ya two look to be.”“Ya gonna eat off the same plate after a slave girl?” Faye asked.“Faye, when yer hungry enough, you’ll eat after anybody. I’m hungry, so ya just eat fast.”Benton, W.R. (2015-10-31). Silently Beats the Drum (The Drum Series Book 1) (Kindle Locations 579-616). Loose Cannon Ent.. Kindle Edition.Bottom Line:This author has dabbled in other stories, but in Silently Beat the Drums, I suspect, this author has found his niche. At least I will follow him. I got this book through Kindle Unlimited but will be purchasing a copy later this week.Comments?

These people from a bond that ensures their Chances of survival in a most dangerous environment. I would encourage all of you western fans to read and enjoy this book. So, "Giddy Up."
