" This story and its companion are about the people who settled the present day town of The Dalles, Oregon, and in particular built up a lodge along the Deschuttes River. The author has a way of subtly keeping one on the edge so to speak all the way to the end of the book! "

" I finished this book at a time when I started and stopped at least five different books because I wasn't satisfied with them. That is saying something right there! Apparently, I was in the mood for a book where people work hard and accomplish good things and find the good in life. "
