Title: Profound questions, satisfying answers
Review: What motivated young, well-educated mid-19th century Frenchmen to leave their beloved country for the wilds of Lake Ontario and then the even wilder newly-annexed New Mexico territory? To toil there for decades amid the struggles -- often sanguinary -- between rival cultures? What caused them to choose to die there rather than a comfortable retirement back "home" in the old country? Cather answers with an exploration of religious faith, of the enchanting beauty of the desert, arroyos and mountains and of the indominable human spirit. I felt her questions were profound and her answers satisfying.
