Oregon Frontier Story

Unusually deep character study for a so-called western - but then, this is Ernest Haycox in his prime. Mark Sheridan travels to Oregon and pioneers in town building, stage runs, sawmills and politics. The politics are rough and tumble, and so is the romance for that matter. An everyman-kind-of-hero who is likeable and interesting. His love-interest is complex, strong and unpredictable (thankfully). Exciting story, well written.
