Does time heal all wounds? Or do some last forever?

Pennsylvania, 1971: Graham Davidson is a young man with survivor’s guilt after the death of three siblings.

Estranged from his father and seeking a direction in his life, Graham learns about vision quests from a Crow Indian. He secures seasonal employment in Yellowstone National Park and embarks on a spiritual journey.

Wyoming Territory, 1871: Under a full moon at a sacred thermal area, Graham finds himself in Yellowstone a century earlier - one year before it was established as a national park. He joins the Hayden Expedition, which was commissioned to explore the region.

Although a military escort provides protection for the explorers, the cavalry’s notorious lieutenant threatens Graham. His perilous journey through the future park is marred by a horrific tragedy in a geyser basin, a grizzly bear attack, and an encounter with hostile Blackfeet Indians.

Graham falls in love with Makawee, a beautiful Crow woman who serves as a guide. As the expedition nears its conclusion, Graham is faced with an agonizing decision.

Does he stay in the previous century with the woman he loves or travel back to the future?

If you like the historical time travel adventure of Outlander or enjoyed the movie Dances with Wolves, then you'll love Burning Ground!

Wonderful story.
If only it was read with more excitement.
The narrator failed this by his flat style of talking.
I do recommend listening, very good story.

We found this book that was set in Yellowstone Park engrossing and clever with its twists and turns. Author D.A. Galloway has done a great job of weaving the tale with the events. With the Audible version we found the narrator Michael Bauer a master of many voices and accents to keep the novel moving and neat to follow. We are looking forward to Book 2 and Graham's further adventures.

Thoroughly Enjoyed "Burning Ground"

I really loved this book. In this day of people wanting to do right by the indigenous people of the world, the white man and red man facing their hardships in 1871 are powerful in this book. Well worth reading. Fatal Ground is excellent as well.

Outstanding historical fiction/fantasy

Captivating story of finding meaning and purpose in the face of tragedy. While following the main character Graham on his journey, I enjoyed learning about Yellowstone and gained a deeper understanding of native American culture and history. Although it’s a long book, I was surprised how quickly the time flew by. I also enjoyed the narration and found it easy to follow the story since each character had a distinct audio personality. I highly recommend Burning Ground. Looking forward to Book 2.

Interesting story layered with historical details and fascinating characters

I wish the reader would have looked up pronunciation of words like 'placer' and 'gunwale' and a few others. Seemed like he was trying too hard. The story was ok.

Just so so

A wonderful story of the 1870’s and Yellowstone. One which allows your imagination to take off and see the beauty of Yellowstone in all its grandeur. A very enjoyable book.

There are some topics I can never resist: anything related to books (i.e. bookshops, libraries, etc) being one, and time travel being another.

So, when audiobookworm promotions looked for hosts for this tour, I was glad to join.

The premise sounded fascinating, and the book didn’t disappoint.

The book starts slow; the time travel event doesn’t happen until well into the story, but I didn’t mind, because the book drew me in right from the start.

Yellowstone National Park is a fascinating place of which I knew very little when starting the book. Its history is interesting, and I’d really love to visit one day.

We learn a bit about Yellowstone’s past and recent past, its meaning to the Native Americans, and some of the problems that came with the white usurpers.

My impression was, that the book is very well researched. I didn’t look up any of the historic people mentioned, but I never doubted that D.A. Galloway got his facts right. I imagine that Hayden’s 1871 expedition is well documented in text and photos and paintings, but D.A. Galloway weaves an intriguing tale with fascinating characters and vivid descriptions of the trials and tribulations such an expedition would bring, as well as the joyful, stunning moments.

Everything is described so vividly, I felt like I was there. The book makes me want to go and follow the trail this specific expedition took — although I’m not fond of mosquitoes, and the wildlife would scare me.

Michael Bauer did a terrific job as a narrator, I actually ‘heard’ all the different people and was never at a loss as to who said what; all the characters are distinctive. Mr Bauer’s diction was excellent, making it easy for me to understand every word — English is not my first language, so a clear diction is essential for me to enjoy an audio book.

The whole experience was absolutely great, and time flew by — I never even realized the length of the book.

I would recommend this book not only to readers who are interested in history, or geology, but to everybody who wants to enjoy a great story.

Engaging story, ready to start book 2 right away! My favorite way to learn about history is through historical fiction, and this book was full of historically accurate information while still having an engaging story that I could not stop listening to. Clear why this is an award winner. I’m also ready to head back and visit Yellowstone park again! Highly recommend.
