A Tale Of The Old West - Well Worth Reading

Fairchild's Passage is an engrossing tale of the West; but not the romaticized Louis L'Amour's West. This is a harsher, more realistic story of a wagon train heading to Oregon and of the hardships encountered. The characters are interesting and well defined; their situations are basic, difficult, and (at times) horrible. I suspect that this is what the Old West was really like. This book definitely held my interest; I only wish it had continued for a few more chapters; there were additional problems in the story that needed (in my opinion) to be resolved. But I would recommend this book to a friend. If you like Westerns, you'll like this book.
