Shaman by Noah Gordon

4.0

Simple, beautiful story that brings to manages to bring to life a number of key mid-19th century experiences -- immigrant squalor in booming american cities, life on the frontier from both the Indian and settler perspectives, and the oppression of the Civil War. The story is nowhere near the soaring epic The Physician was, but it was still a beautiful and gripping read.
