A Very Good Adventure Story
I read this book in several sittings, because I was afraid that something would happen to the characters, because I grew to be so fond of them.This book is very descriptive of traveling across the desert areas by horseback and wagon, describing the beauty of the land and the ways the people adapted to it.Did you know that there were wagon odometers?Now you know...The men's personal horses, and of course, Vic, or Victoriana, the author's dog, were just as much as active in the story as were the men and women.There are the english speaking settlers and Army soldiers, the spanish people, the various Indian groups, all speaking some of each other's languages.There are good and bad people of each group, reminiscent of real life.
The dialogue is a bit stilted, that was the style of writing during this time, but you can get used to it.I really liked this book and am looking forward to reading it again.It is a good read, and is informative regarding the history of that time and locale. ... Read more
