A Long Lost Treasure

Being that I generally read about Custer, mountain men and the Plains Indian Wars, this was a bit of a departure. But it was so good that I read it twice in the last ten years. It is part frontier adventure, part love story, and wonderfully and realistically told. Being that the author is a woman, I was quite surprised that it wasn't overly sentimental by any means. Also, check out her book titled The Great Adventure - a brilliant mountain man novel that contains some of the same characters.
