Bound for the Promised LandThis rich novel recreates the adventure of two men crossing the plains in the 1850s. An epic story of the settlers, visionaries, large-hearted men and women, and small-time grabbers drawn west by the hope of a better life. Nothing short of superb, says the Chicago Tribune. |
