Praise
I liked the history base all though the story of the West in the late 1800s. I liked the protagonist 's character, values of life, and the work ethic to build for the future with the stick-to-it when the work was raw with heavy heaves of the body. The determination of building for the future that made the West grow from wild to ease for families. Parts of the book of the protagonist 's jobs of hauling silver ore mines in Colorado's high mountains. Some of the scenes the author's words pulled me into the tenseness of life and death stories whereas I could hear all the different sounds, and capturing the fearful thoughts during the dangerous problems.
The author showed great skill with his choices of words through out the complete book.
I recommend this book to those who likes history combined with good clean fiction.
Very well written. I enjoyed the story. I look forward to the next several stories. They need to start raising cattle next.
Smooth words which drew me right into the story. I liked the descriptions of each person in the story.
I liked the ending, too.
