Book Review of The Good Journey: A Novel

The Good Journey: A Novel
BillyV avatar reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


This is a fantastic story about a beautiful young woman who marries a general, 22 years her senior, after only a 3 day courtship. They live on the frontier, (surrounded by Indians), just east of the Mississippi.

One can not help but care about the characters and cringe at the injustices and poor treatment of the Indians. While entranced by the story, you will learn about life on the frontier, the Black Hawk war and General Atkinson.

This is a great book that you will enjoy from the start.
