Ephraim Chronicles

By Lee Nelson

Author: ?+ Lee Nelson Description:

In 1923, Frank Clark headed into the wilderness to trap Old Ephraim, the most notorious grizzly the Utah mountains had ever seen. Ephraim literally waded through herds of sheep and cattle, as his powerful paws broke legs and backs and slung entrails in every direction. Defying the herdsman who invaded his historical domain, he overturned their steel traps, and dared theim to come get him with an impunity unparalleled in the history of the American West.

What Clark didn't know was that Ephraim had a friend in, Danny Evans, who grew up with the grizzlies to become an elusive raider himself, until he was arrested by the law, schooled by an atheist, and courted by a stunning, young prophetess, while driven to find himself and the father he never knew.

This is the story of a bear and a boy, and the forces that push them to the brink of tragedy and self-discovery.

my favourite short novel

Lee Nelson is one of my favourite authors, I own every novel he has ever published. And I must say that Ephraim Chronicles is my favourite by him. I think I've read it over ten times. The story really brings to life the romance of living in the early 19th century. And even though there are plenty of things that are not very realistic in the novel, (A boy living with grizzly bears for much of his childhood, all the while teaching himself to read by stealing books from sheep herders) it is still a very good and beleivable read. Ephraim Chronicles is a rather short novel, (it can easily be read in one day) but I think that just adds to the intimacy of the story. The book gets better every time I read it.

Great book! I really enjoyed reading it.

Lee Nelson keeps his notourious standard with this book. I really enjoyed reading it. Though, some of the contents were hard to believe they were historically based, it was an excellent read none the less. I have always enjoyed learning about Old Ephraim, and this was very educational in that aspect. The book had a great storyline and flow. Thanks Lee for another Great book!! I read it easily in one day
