Why read it?
1 author picked Journey To Eden as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I enjoy historical mystery, particularly in a pioneer/colonial setting, and was a big fan of Dances With Wolves. This book takes it one step further and weaves an intriguing tale of adventure that features several distinct characters whose destiny overlaps as they each make their way through dangerous curves in the pre-Civil War era.
I couldn't put this one down after becoming immersed in the storyline. I could visualize how the landscape changed over time, particularly for Native Americans. Still, this book rightfully emphasizes how harmony among those from different cultures can lead to good outcomes for all.
From William's list on mystery, intrigue and creative historical content.
