Why read it?
1 author picked Del Rio as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A new book by a new writer, this is one I had an editing hand in, and one I’ve come to love. It’s a gripping coming-of-age novel set in the 1840s against the backdrop of the vast push west. Both a personal story of a young man forced to survive in a violent land, and an epic story of wagons west along the Oregon Trail, it grabs the reader from the get-go and holds on to the very end. There are as many twists and turns to this tale as were present in the trail west itself.
From Bob's list on generating interest in the Western genre.
