Customer Reviews

A Great Rockwell historical novel...

This book captures the spirit and emotion of Rockwell's life better than any others I have read. It not merely details his life, but goes into the background and personality that made him one of the Mormon West's most colorful characters. The only complaint I have with the book is that it relies mostly on diaglogue to carry on with the story. Sometimes this is a bit distracting. However, it remains by far the most excellent (and accurate, from what I have studied) novel on Rockwell's life.

Heartwarming

Couldn't put this book down. The writing style allows you to relive a part of American history. I felt like I was there; laughed, cried, felt great empathy for these early Mormon pioneers and the steadfastness of Porter Rockwell. Where can I get Volume 2?
