Watch For Me On The Mountain
-by Forrest Carter*


It's a fictional story of Geronimo and The Apaches. Doesn't get more bloody and violent than that

The Son by Philipp Meyer

Damn good, I'm currently halfway through.

Two other good ones are The Frontiersmen and That Dark and Bloody River, both by Allan Eckert.

I would check out the Kerney Family Trilogy starting with Hard Country by Michael McGarrity.

He also has numerous standalone books that take place in modern day.
