description: The El Dorado Trilogy, Book 1, 1846-1849: It should have been a walk in the park. Thorough planning, sound outfitting, and faith would make it so. But the preacher hired the wrong man to take him to Oregon Territory, and that will cost him a wife. The Cheyenne say it was prophesied. The Catholic priest calls it the will of the Lord. As for the bourgeois at Fort Laramie and the army sergeant posted there, they care not whose fault it is. They are just glad to have the pretty woman stop by. Winner, Eric Hoffer Book Award for Legacy Fiction, 2010. Recommended reading, Southwest Education Classes, Adams State College, Alamosa, Colorado, 1996.
