4.0 out of 5 stars Couldn’t put this book down!

This work is the type of read I enjoy. Following a family’s journey through historical events. Very well researched with great descriptions of the characters and their personalities. I wish this would have been a series so I could look forward to the next book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Choppy and definitely Male Oriented!
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2017

Could be much better. The inference that the sacred family hide could survive from 16000 BC is a bit ridiculous (it doesn't say that, just implies it). The obsidian knife that appears at the end makes no sense since it hadn't been mentioned for hundreds of years and so much was lost of personal belongings in the meantime!

It's not that the chapters were bad, they weren't. Some were way too short (one just a few lines) and others seemed overly long. It's just that many of them just stopped! They didn't conclude the story they were telling, they just stopped!

Although much of the earlier times made it clear that the family lineage went through the women, most women had no part OTHER than to product the next generation. Once the culture became more male oriented, the story only followed the sons -- as if the daughters didn't even exist. The spouses (such as Agnes) had more to do with the story line than the daughters did!

The story was written to mainly highlight war-like or tragic incidents (including stampeding caribou). Why? There was no mention of westward expansion other than Lewis and Clark. Why not a chapter on a portion of the family heading west on a wagon train? If they were emphasizing war-like or tragic incidents, why was the Spanish-American War and World War I skipped entirely? It went from the Chicago Colombian Expedition of 1893 to the crash of the stock market in 1920 skipping that era entirely.

It was a reasonable read but was definitely missing major parts of the culture. It was interesting to note that while the book implies Indian heritage, it's clear that the family is multi-racial. Without spoiling, some of the racial mixture is definitely by choice and some not.

Note -- I read this book shortly after re-reading Time Spike by Eric Flint and Marilyn Kosmatka which covers the Mounds People as part of that story. It made it more understandable for me. That is a time period not as well known about.
