Book Description

Publication Date: 1940

From dust jacket notes: "The history of the pioneer Middle West boasts no more stalwart figure than that of Hercules Dousman, around whose life and exploits Mr. Derleth has woven 'Bright Journey,' a novel complete in itself, as well as being the fourth book in Mr. Derleth's steadily growing 'Sac Prairie Saga.' 'Bright Journey' spans more than a third of a most eventful century in mid-western annals. It begins with the capture of Fort Mackinac by the British in 1812 when the youthful Dousman learned, through his father's wise example, the value of compromise and of 'the long view,' and had the first glimpse of the bright journey that brought him a generous mixture of fame, wealth and happiness...."
