I am a slow reader and also I am busy so my time to read is limited. I liked the book a lot because I was raised in the nearby mountains and I am familiar with the Salmon River and Snake river as well. I have been to many of the places mentioned in the book.

These were very tough times in history but I would gladly trade what we have now in 2013 for those olden days ( amazon customer)

The gist of this book can be summed up in the words of Chinese hermit Shan-chuan: "I have my place in the world. In winter I wear skins. In summer I wear hemp. In spring I plow and plant and have enough to do. In fall I harvest and gather and have enough to eat. When the sun rises I get up. When it sets, I rest. I am free to do what I want in this world, and with this I am content." So would say Wildhorse Cowgirl, The Cove Recluse, Buckskin Bill, and the others in this book.
