At the beginning of this book there is a quote from Laura Ingalls Wilder, which instantly gave me visuals of the programme, Little House on the prairie. Those images stayed with me throughout the book and I seemed to base the clothing, scenery and even a few of the characters on what I remember from that programme.Frank and Gregory met and fell in love while serving in the United States Army during the Civil war. They have dreams of making a claim on free land using the Homestead Act, building a home where there weren't too many people so they can live as a couple quietly!I don't think either one of them thought their journey was going to be easy but what they had to endure at such young ages certainly opened my eyes and at times made me feel quiet emotional, seeing them struggling and their efforts crushed.I loved the relationship between these Two men, they had their disagreements but there was no doubt each made the other whole and you could feel the love they shared coming off the pages.I found myself engrossed in this book I couldn't and didn't want to put the book down not till I had finished it!The ending had a bit of a cliffhanger which has left me needing to know what happens next. I am hoping the author has a second book available very soon!L. Dean Pace-Frech is a wonderful, Historical Fiction Author, not only do I love his imagination with the story lines but I feel as if I am being educated at the same time. He has certainly made me realise how much I enjoy this genre of m/m books!This is a must read....Highly Recommended!!
