From Library Journal:
Readers interested in the history of "Bloody Kansas" will find this slow-paced, detail-loaded novel good reading, unless they are put off by the punctuation and syntax. It covers the years 1859-78, surely the most colorful period in Kansas history. The author has combined facts gleaned from his family's history and careful research in the state's history with fiction designed to help explain motives behind events and characters. The protagonist is young Isaac Pride, who sets out from Iowa in 1859 to find gold near Pike's Peak. Instead, he spends the next 19 years hunting buffalo, trading with Indians, and investing in land, railroads, and banking. The last is his Waterloo. This long book is better history than fiction.
