belle0819's review against another edition
5.0
Oh wow! A violent story of the last buffalo hunt in the late 1800s. Normally this sort of story would not appeal to me for its killing and animal cruelty. I'm that sort of person.
However, the characters of Michael and Elizabeth and Aubuchon stole my heart.
Michael is a selfless human who reads, loves his dogs and horse. He is a horse whisperer (my definition). This man would steal my heart if I were Elizabeth.
Elizabeth is a fiercely independent woman who will not marry again to be cared for by a man. She is determined to make it on her own. She is a war nurse and a buffalo hunter.
Aubuchon - a very minor character, is a religious man in his former life and now the cook for Elizabeth and the camp. He makes donuts.
If you are craving a terrific retelling of America's history along with a crazy good romantic story to boot, read this book. If you love descriptive settings and reading about America before it was fully civilized read this book. If you like stark, fluent writing, read this book. I can't really think of a good reason not to read this book.
P.S. when I say romance I do not mean that this falls in the romance genre. I mean that it is a story of human love.

I was disappointed with this novel. Westerns aren't my thing, but I like expanding my horizons. Unfortunately this novel didn't do that. It felt too shallow and I couldn't really get into the characters. I liked that the dogs in it didn't die haha.
