Publisher's summary

Chase Benteen Calder was bound to wrest a fortune from Montana land, where the whisper of riches swept across a sea of buffalo grass. With Lorna at his side, a woman who took the tough ways of the land as her destiny, he would breathe life into his dream. Through the treacherous Texas prairie, the perils of Indian country, and a bustling Dodge City, they forged their way to Montana. With Calder strength, they would harvest their fortune from the rich earth, on the sprawling plains of This Calder Range.

Calder Ranch is awesome.

Read in the order in which they were written of this awesome series. Really love Janet Daly's way of presenting this family as it grows along with the ranch.

The voice doesn't match

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. However the readers British accent takes you out of time and place. Also her Mexican sounded Irish or Scottish.

Wish I could give more than 5*******

Best book I've ever read/ and or listened too.

I loved the way it showed that absolute bad and then turned it 180 and showed the good. I've been looking for another series that I could absolutely get into for over a year now. Excited I found this one.

Great read!!!

A solid book written in the early 80s

I enjoyed this book but it was written in the early 80s and it shows (it is now 2024). I wanted to kick Benteen in the teeth a few times...and I wish Lorna would have stood up for herself earlier. But she was only 17 when she married Benteen and again, written in the early 80s. I thought the narrator sounded too old for the characters...but somehow I did get used to it and enjoyed it. Oddly, she did the children's voices really cute. I am still pondering whether to use a credit to listen to the second book in the series. I did love all the details of working with cattle and horses.
