Into the savage country
(Large Print)

A breathtaking adventure set in the American West of the 1820s that gives us a tale of complex friendships, a love story, and a panoramic retelling of a crucial moment in American history. When young William Wyeth leaves St. Louis for a fur-trapping expedition, he nearly loses his life and quickly discovers the depth of loyalty among the men, who must depend on one another to survive. while convalescing, he falls in love with the proud Alene, a widow who may or may not wait for him. And on a wildly risky expedition into Cros territory, Wyeth finds himself unwittingly in the center of a deadly boundary dispute between Native American tribes, the British government, and American trapping brigades. --back cover.
