Well worth reading

This is an unflinching look at the reality of the American expansion west. The novel is historically accurate and refuses to turn away from the havoc and destruction caused as more and more American and European settlers came west in search of wealth and adventure. Underlying the suspense and well-drawn characters, there is an elegaic sense of loss especially as it relates to the extinction of the buffalo and the Native American way of life. Not only that, but the book features a strong well-developed female lead character. Shouldn't be missed.
