Description
The Big Sky A Novel by Alfred Bertram Guthrie is a sweeping portrait of America's vast frontier. Set against the backdrop of the American West, this epic adventure novel follows three frontiersmen - Boone Caudill, Jim Deakins, and Dick Summers - as they travel along the Missouri River from St. Louis to the Rockies. As they navigate the freedom and savagery of the wilderness, each man finds his own unique way of living: trapper, trader, guide, or explorer. For Boone Caudill, a young Kentuckian with a raging hunger for life, the wild places of the West become an untamed home. Here, he meets the beautiful daughter of a Blackfoot chief, and finds love in the unlikeliest of places. Foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Wallace Stegner adds depth to this unforgettable portrait of a spacious land and its people.
