High Country [Large Print]

By Jason Manning

Book Overview

A young man in a virgin land, a sweeping saga alive with the courage, challenge, danger and adventure that was the American frontier.

In 1825 the distant Rockies offered all the adventure and wealth a young man could want. The mad demand for beaver pelts spawned a booming fur trade that sent men to battle against the fury of nature, hostile Indian tribes, and even each other in an ordeal that only the strongest could survive.

Zach Hannah was a mere youth when he left the Tennessee hill country to seek his fortune in the West. He faced many challenges-to learn the way of the wild and those who lived in it, to discover that the white man's treachery could be as deadly as Blackfoot hostility. And to find passionate love with a beautiful Indian woman-and fight to the death to protect her.

Customer Reviews

1st in a trilogy of high grand adventure!

I normally don't even read this genre, but this trilogy was awesome to read. Lots of action and adventure mixed with a great love story. Highly recommended!

Believable realism at its best

Although it has been a year since I read this, the power and quality of the writing has stuck with me. Neither overly violent nor passively nostalgic, this book struck me as a well balanced Western for modern times. It's fast paced, but Manning does an excellent job of capturing the mood of the times (1825) and the grandeur of the setting. He also makes you _care_ about the hero, while keeping you on the edge of your seat.
