I am not familiar to Western literature but this was a fine read. The plot is straightforward and interesting enough to keep interest. However, I enjoyed novels like Butcher's Crossing and Cold Mountain more, though not being true Western, yet still taking place around the same time period.

A wonderful classic Western tale of courage and determination.  Memorable characters and a story so well told that I felt immersed in the action.  True Americana!
