Publisher's summary

Ordered to hold an abandoned army post, John Dunbar found himself alone, beyond the edge of civilization. Thievery and survival soon forced him into the Indian camp, where he began a dangerous adventure that changed his life forever.

Set in 1863, the novel follows Lieutenant John Dunbar on a magical journey from the ravages of the Civil War to the far reaches of the imperiled American frontier, a frontier he naively wants to see "before it is gone".

Fantastic.

Incredible story. As always, I enjoyed this book more than the movie. I really enjoyed the narrator and his wise tone!

Emotional

I was all ready to recommend this book to soooo many until I got to the end. I actually cried at the end, and I’m nearly 70 years old!! George Guidall is an excellent narrator! The story was amazing, but a couple of changes at the end would have made me much happier. I did not finish this book with a good feeling, but rather with an emptiness inside of me. Hopefully it won’t affect others in such a way. The story was just wonderful. You’ll know the two events that hurt me so much when you get there.

Much better than the film

I enjoyed the film back in the 90s but the book is quite different. Frankly it's much better. Very interesting to learn about the aboriginal Americans and their sustainable way of living before the arrival of the army, the hunters and all that entailed...

A book all Americans should read

I watched the movie many years ago when I was young. Too young to really grasp the entire meaning to this story. This time listening grabbed my heart bringing tears to my eyes and opening them to the reality of the white man. I do not believe in us today fretting over what our forefathers did. Nor do I believe in revenge, but rather that we could all do better then our forefathers in finding peace with each other. A perfect book to listen to.
