I was assigned this book as a text on a course I took during the summer about the American West. Little did I realize at the time that this was not a typical college text. This multi-storied, many-faceted, fast-paced book instead proved to be one of the most gripping novels I had ever read. An excellent offering of the compexities, nuances, and quirks of fate of history, humans, and heroism.
