Very exciting!

I enjoyed this very much. I have read other accounts of the adventure and they all are a little different but all exciting!

wanted to hear the actual story not about the dog

all the book focused on was the dog like it was Luis and Clark's journey through the dogs eyes

I feel the author needs to be flogged!

The narrator, and the premise for the book is good. The author failed. I was Expecting an adventure novel with extra dog insight. I recieved more cowbell and crayons! Made it to the end of the dog fight and had to shut it off... Author would argue that those were moose tracks till the train hit him!

Good read

I liked the way the author structured the events, by blending facts with a little author’s interpretation

Lost Trails

Interesting slant on an epic story. I wish it was more metered in delivery. Good enough read though.

Huge Disappointme t

Given the title of the book - of course I thought it would be a historical narrative. Very misleading and hugely disappointing.
