This book provides a fascinating view of the life in the northwest in the middle 1800's. The dialog and the relationships of the people are thoroughly modern, however, and the author made the characters come alive through his compelling, descriptive writing.

It's been compared to Cold Mountain- the story of traders, immigrants and Native Americans on the Oregon Trail in 1846. I loved it!

The style of this book is unusual. Some of the reviews refer to it as "poetic", which I found very apt. If you think you would enjoy such a style and are interested in the topic, you should love this story. It's the best book I've read in many months, and I'd highly, highly recommend it.

This book is a challenging read, but well worth the effort. I really enjoyed it and so did my daughter-in-law. It is a very authentic glimpse into the life of the travelers on the Oregon trail.
