... This is a novel, yes, but it is so absorbing that you ll completely forget that it isn t absolute fact....I recommend Backbone of the World very highly. I haven t enjoyed a novel about the fur trade as much as this one in quite a while. Mike Nesbitt, Muzzleloader Magazine --Muzzle Loader Magazine"...Henry has produced a meticulously detailed saga of the Rocky Mountain fur trade... through the eyes of his heroic adventure-seeking protagonist, Temple Buck... Henry has a ribald sense of humor, an accurate ear for dialect, and a genuine gift for sparkling characterization...These books belong on the shelf of any fur trade buff; for pleasure reading and reference." Roundup Magazine --Roundup Magazine"The plot and dialog have the ring of authenticity and from the outset the novel is an irresistible page-turner. Temple Buck has the spunk appropriate to a virile young adventurer. If you have enjoyed the fiction of Win Blevins and Terry Johnston, you will find a worthy continuation of the genre in Backbone of the World.
