Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden

3.0

I have to agree with many of the other reviewers. I kept looking back at the jacket to remind myself of the author's credentials. The story was fascinating, but the many side-trips were overly-detailed and often irrelevant to the story. I've read much history in the last few years that felt like reading a novel; they were so fascinating: David McCullough and David Lavender come to mind. I'm afraid this book didn't come close. Still, I finished the book which I usually don't do when the writing isn't up to snuff. And I did enjoy it once I'd lowered my expectations.
