Review # 1 was written on 2015-04-25 00:00:00 Roy Harden Starting slowly but soon enough rolling furiously into hell, this may be my favorite adventure story of all time. It has it all: a wagon train of unforgettable characters, Indian attacks, cholera, madness, unexpected comedy and well-earned tragedy, and even an admirable dog. Marius is in top form, creating American archetypes who are yet precisely limned individuals, and revealing their psychology with great lyricism. The novel just couldn't be more exciting, or one damned bit sadder, without blowing up in your face. Also highly recommend his An Affair of Honor.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-06-03 00:00:00 Andrew Grette Richard Marius can clearly write well and knows his subject. This is a book I would have hugely enjoyed if it were not for the overly descriptive sex scenes. It was just a case of too much information. If I was to give it a TV rating it would be R.
