Title: Read slowly so it won't be over too soon!
Product review: When I started this book I devoured the pages. When I was in about 100 pages I pulled back. Not because the book wasn't tremendous, but because I didn't want the story to be over too soon. The stories of the Indian Wars show the ambivalence of a few good men and the greedy hatred propelling others. General and Mrs. Atkinson are memorable characters, and along with vivid description help your mind's eye to truly 'see' the inhabitants of 1830's frontier. You also see a fresh prospective on what really motivated our first post-revolutionary war heros and how their actions were truly interpreted without the spin we can now so closely associate with our history. Get out your dictionary because there are lots of words that even I needed a definition for. Please, invest your reading life with this gem. I can't believe that this is Gilchrist's first book. Wow!
