Publisher's summary

Kirby Randolph was a tough mountain man. He had promised himself he would get the wagon train to Santa Fe because Aurelie St. Clair was in one of the wagons. She was half Indian, the most beautiful and the toughest girl he had ever seen.

This is the story of men and women who kept the Santa Fe Trail open in the 1880s, from Westport, Kansas, to Santa Fe, New Mexico.

wow,

it's one thing for an author to write Kirby being raised in the West Virginia ,then became a mountain man. To listen to him , is something else. yet I found myself wanting to hear what happened next

Couldn't take the narration

The narrator's attempt to sound "old-timey" was too much of a distraction. Couldn't take anymore

Became boring

Not the best by this author in fact I had to reassure myself that this was by CF because the plot and characters were wholly unoriginal even knowing the book was written in the 60s and had probably served as the template for many later films and books. Try another title because CF was very good when he was good.

Love Wins The Day

Overcoming his dislike of a certain race of people to follow his heart was paramount to this exciting story.

Not great story with very poor reader.

Simile after simile, tiring. Reader was poor. Choppy and awkward delivery of writer’s vernacular. Author’s dialogues were akward and hokie.

Very Poor Performance

The story would be better to hear if the performer was different. Very monotonous with “formal” annunciation better suited for a service manual. I will make sure to skip this narrator in the future
