Helpful Score: 1

Highly recommended for history of the westward expansion and development of the United States. Took me quite a while to read because I got interested in many of the side themes and real people mentioned in this novel. You could read the basic plot line without much time or trouble. It's the related material that adds to the interest and the time required to read and absorb what I think Stegner wants the reader to learn about. Also, good treatment of dichotomy between the East and the West of the U.S., a subject less familiar to me than the dichotomy between North and South.
