Isn't there a movie based on this book? I used to watch a lot of Westerns (or that is, my parents did and I could peek into the living room from my top bunk, tee hee...). I think it's fascinating that the women are more of an afterthought than main characters in this book. They obviously had a very important role to play in the success of western American expansion. One of the first adult novels I remember reading was a Western called, "Mary Dove". I've been trying to get my hands on a copy for years *<i>sigh</i>*. Wonderful review, Margot!
