To Build a Country

The Adventurers is the kind of novel Ernest Haycox had wanted to write from the time he began his literary career. Sadly, he died before he could write any more about the land he loved so well--the Great Northwest. This book, along with The Earthbreakers are testament to the genius he was when it came to putting words on paper so the average person could feel, and experience his characters as they struggled to find their way through life. It was Haycox's strength of inner personality, and ocassional violent action which separates him from the run of the mill western writer, and helped to make westerns acceptable reading. Building a town, creating a community, a place described on the dust jacket of some of his other works as 'Haycox Country' is an apt description of this book. I heartily endorse it; it's a great read.
