Reviews

[Debra · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good story. A study in some of the customs and practices of a Native American tribe. A little liberty with history though. Paddle wheelers didn’t appear on the Mississippi until 1811. Would have been a simple fix with an adjustment of dates. Otherwise, a good story. Love does not recognize differences in skin color or customs.

Like how the author research the Osage a Indian Tribe’s culture. Very interesting book has a lot of adventures going on. Not sure how I feel about the heroine in the story, it may be because of the times she lived in but could not do anything for herself unless there was a man around.
