Author attempting to integrate previous historical figures into a greater narrative about the West. It is a bit disjointed, in my opinion.

Part 2 is about James Pierson Beckwourth, which I have not read about since grad school back in 2014. I enjoyed hearing this author’s interpretation of Beckwourth’s journey.
