Or will they? Skye's love of whiskey puts his life, and Victoria's, in peril when they encounter a renegade band of Yankee traders taking a wagon-load of a cheap and poisonous raw alcohol to trade among the Indians.

Once a British seaman, Skye is a hunter and trapper in 1850s Yellowstone country, where he lives with his wife Victoria, a Crow Indian, and her people, the Absaroka. All rights reserved. . The miraculous appearance of two horses provide transportation out of wintry Blackfoot territory, but traders rob Skye's rifle and kit, and he returns to the Absaroka a pauper-and with horses they consider a bad omen.

Probably a good historical story, but not a real Western. Just a drunk having a bad time in the woods.

Well, he acts more like a drunk in a dark alley in any city.I haven't finished this book, but I will. I have found skipping over 25% of the words is no problem. I do not enjoy reading page after page of information about the weather, starting a fire, and other details of no . Optimistic said Best fur trapper character Ever. Loved this whole seriesjust wish you could find which book comes next. I don't like books with swearing, but I give Victoria a pass. You will not be sorry sitting in your comfortable chair, thinking about how hard your week was. After a couple chapters, you will love your "hard life"I did!. Survival! I greatly enjoy reading about mountain men and their struggles to survive. Mr. Wheeler has written a series of books about this particular mountain man beginning with his escape from a British ship docked at Vancouver, BC to learning absolutely everything about the wild west.
