A quick read and look into the idea of trade back in that time period. I would have liked the story to have been more involved in that aspect.

Not much happened, and it took a long time to tell it.

Very good "Western" story. It's actually not like your normal American Western tale. Lots of nicely developed characters and a nice continuing storyline. Recommended
