- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not every criminal is a foul human being. "The Feather Gang" is a novel set in the American Old West following the Feather Gang as they evade U.S. Marshal Jake Silver, who is hot on their trail trying to bring them to justice. An old fashioned story of the honorable bandits and the equally honorable law, "The Feather Gang" is a charming story that will please Old West fiction fans.Midwest Book Review by Michael Carson.
