A review by leeball
Into the Savage Country by Shannon Burke

4.0

I picked this book up at a second hand store purely based on the title and cover picture. I really enjoy reading 19th century books about the wilderness, natives, fur trade, and the daily struggle of survival. This book is certainly all those things. There is mention of a few notable frontiersman (in a fictional sense) which feeds the imagination. The adventures that unfold leave you cheering for them and their trapping brigade. The author is a talented writer and left me looking up several words after each Part, which was a welcomed bonus to this book.
