I started up in the law at old Liberty town yonder not so long ago, but I've been away a great deal." "The law, eh?"

25 of 26 people found the following review helpful. An Entertaining Read By John R. Lindermuth I read and enjoyed this story as a boy. And I can say now it's still enjoyable, despite a few quirks of dialogue and other uses we now consider old-fashioned.Hough knew the people and land whereof he wrote, having living the pioneer life himself in New Mexico and as an avid outdoorsman throughout the west. Set in the late 1840s just before the California gold rush (which actually plays a vital role in the plot), the book tells of two wagon caravans bound for Oregon and the conflict which divides them because of a love triangle. Indian fights, buffalo hunts, dangerous river crossings and other dangers of the trail add to a gripping and entertaining read.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Good book for settings, descriptions, and trail flavor By Voracious Reader I mainly read the book for research I'm doing on the Oregon Trail. Although this is a work of fiction, I found some very usuable information. For me, reading the novel was quicker than reading a history book, even though I've used plenty of them, too. The story was a little unreasonable, and I don't think Hough had a very high regard for women, since he talks about one lying as all women were apt to do. Still, the story is one of adventure and romance. The descriptions have dated vocabulary, but are nicely done, and this adds to the understanding of the times.
