Title: Gay Historical Fiction
Review: Readers buy novels for many reasons, and an insight into real individuals is rare. This historical fiction I found to be a good read. The real "Johnny Appleseed" probably was as backward as the John Chapman of "Frontiers", and one senses the outcast nature of being an "abomination" in the 1790s. The author does a masterful job with the difficulty of John's sexual difference as well as the hardship of living on the frontier. There is no positive sense of closure with the novel, just as there probably was with the real John Chapman's life. I enjoyed it!
