Reviews
On Apr 10 2020, a reader said:
This is the story of the freight system that carried goods from St. Louis to Santa Fe, NM in the mid 19th Century, and the perils and dangers they faced as they crossed Indian country to deliver their merchandise. An historical novel with real people who lived during the period who appear or are mentioned as the story line progresses. A fine read.
