In 1829, a new life in the vast uncharted region beyond the Mississippi River was a cause for celebration, and fear. With wild beasts, lawless renegades, and hostile Indians enough to threaten even the bravest of men, a newborn had little hope for survival. Upon the birth of their first child, trapper Nathaniel King and his Indian wife, Winona, were overjoyed. But their delight turned to terror when Nathan accompanied the men of Winona’s tribe on a deadly buffalo hunt. If King didn’t return, his family was sure to perish.
David Thompson is a remarkable writer; however the first two/fifths of Death Hunt were mainly a pedant lecture on the culture of the native American indian. But....very well done. It just got off to a slow start action wise...I will refrain from any futher content of the story, 'cause I'm sure you'll understand after you hear it.
