May sound somewhat repetitive here but I got hooked on the first book and it was like an addiction. The author shows how the westward movement affected families and individuals while placing them within history itself.
great end to this 3 book series! full of action, it brings Jeff's dilemma with his father in law & Merrivale's secret partner go an end. Clay, Proud Wolf & Aaron also resolve a few issues with McKendrick, their enemy. The next 3 boom series should be just as interesting!
