"A wonderful book. Well-researched fur trade setting, cultures in interaction and conflict. The characters are believable and complex individuals...a great love story ... a special understanding of American Indian mysticism." Don Coldsmith

A well researched novel taking place in 1825's. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it to any one who has an interest in the mountain man era.

Amazing reverse trip up the river system instead of down. I sort of follow the natural history and anthropology bits and give these sorts of plots a miss. I wasn't sorry i read it though, all in all not a bad read.

My friend was reading this and I found the subject interesting enough to try it. Although the main character was not at first my favorite, he grew on me and I became invested in seeing it through.
The history relayed here seems more accurate than some historical novels I've read of the same period.
Overall, I liked it enough to go on and read the sequel.
