I listened to this book and really enjoyed it. The story is based on real people and events in the settlement of Oregon. I like the fact that author Jane Kirpatrick does indepth research for each of her historical novels. This one is exceptional.

An interesting book of the mid 1800's of life in the Oregon territory by the Columbia River and the Deschutes. I found it difficult to connect with the characters, but found the story well told. I liked learning about life in the west during and after the civil war.
