About this title

About the Author:

Richard Wheeler has written over seventy novels, most of them set in the American West. He has won numerous awards, including a Spur Award for Snowbound, a novel about the disastrous fourth expedition of explorer John Charles Fremont, which cost the explorer almost a third of his men and all of his 130 pack mules.

From Library Journal:

In 1849 a diplomatic mission to the Indians is beset by disaster, chiefly cholera. Captain Jed Owen, the leader, is the sole survivor. Carrying a haversack of his dying companions' messages to their families which he has sworn to deliver, he struggles through the wilderness along the Missouri River. Coming up the river is his fiancee, Susannah, searching for him even though he has been given up for dead. Her journey is almost as perilous as his. They do meet at last, but their troubles are not over. The author gives us a convincing and memorable picture of the Western wilderness. His management of romance is less heavy-handed than in his earlier novels.
