Order of W. Michael Gear Books

W. Michael Gear is an American author of historical fiction and an archaeologist. Frustrated by historical inaccuracies in the genre, he wrote a 550-page novel—his first attempt—focused on historical accuracy, even if it wasn't well-written. He often collaborates with his wife, Kathleen O’Neal Gear, on their most recognized work, the First North Americans series. W. Michael Gear made his literary debut in 1988, publishing three novels that year: The Big Horn Legacy, The Warriors of Spider, and The Way of Spider. Below is a list of W.
