I love narrations of books like this! They put me to sleep right away! This one lasted 4 nights. Thank you!

[kevinbrown]

This story is wonderful and amazing. I listened while very sick in bed and it took my mind off my troubles better than anything else. Every American should learn from this historical book.

[samcruickshanks]

What a fantastic experience it was listening to this book!
I absolutely loved it!

[pepoppins]

I don't understand why so many have complained about the reader or the book - both are wonderful!

[dzadza]

This is the epitome of transcendent sagas...this man's empathetic and expressive voice carries us to a place and time faraway and long ago...wonderful. So much to think about and learn about this lost world in our own time. Thank you.

This book isn't a "politically correct" novel. It is an historical novel, and reflects the culture and common attitudes of a different time. Understanding such differences could be an advantage to many to understand as well current differences between people.
It is a good book, let yourself enjoy it.

Beautifully written historical novel folks.. Made the lives of the pioneers come alive.
History class would have been so much more endearing if presented this way.

Every audiobook I listen to the comment section is full of people complaining about the narrator. Here’s an idea. Buy the book and read it yourself. Just a thought? lol

[mommacrow]

The book is a first-person account of a 2-month summer tour in 1846 of the U.S. states of Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado and Kansas. Parkman was 23 at the time. The heart of the book covers the three weeks Parkman spent hunting buffalo with a band of Oglala Sioux. He brilliantly describes what he saw and experienced. Native Americans hunted Bison (Buffalo) for thousands of years without decimating the population - it was the white man who drove the species to near extinction.

One of my very first computer games in the mid to late 90's, was the 'Organ Trail.' You had to prepare choosing staples/food, dry goods, that would not perish, choose your passengers, equipment that your wagon would need in the 'wagon train.' It was so enthralling until I kept messing up and getting the whole train wrecked...so I stopped playing...didn't want to lose any more lives!
