From AudioFile

When Clay Holt returns to the Ohio Valley after traveling with the Lewis and Clark Expedition, he sparks a blood feud with the Garwood clan. Tensions have been fueled in his absence by Josie Garwood's claims about a romantic encounter. Holt and his brother, Jefferson, are forced to flee, heading out West once again. Sambrook Erickson reads the melodramatic story in a bold, clear voice. His character voices are a bit overdone, but it ends up adding to the old-time dramatic style. However, the music between passages, meant to create the atmosphere of a sweeping saga, tends to be annoying and unnecessary. Still, the opening installment of the Frontier trilogy is brisk fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Westward! (Wagons West Trilogy Book 1), December 23, 2005

This review is from: Westward! (Westward! Wagons West, the Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)

I think that this book was thouroughly engrossing. I started on a Thursday night and was done with it by Saturday (which is very good timing for me). The characters are well-written by the author (Dana Fuller Ross), and I loved the detail of the novel. I could actually picture myself in the frontier. I have also read the other two books in this series (Expedition, Book 2 and Outpost, Book 3). This was the first western frontier type of series that I have read and I do not intend for it to be my last. I will now be on the search for all the other books about the Holts (there are over 20 of them!).

3.0 out of 5 stars After the Facts, June 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Westward! (Westward! Wagons West, the Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)

I read all of the state series starting with Independance last year. While I got engrossed in them and the Holts it was a facinating read. I feel that This trilogy which goes before the Wagons West series should have been written first or at least for those of us who will follow this type of story, let us know so that we read these first. Please make a note somewhere that Westward Expedition and Outpost need to be read first.

This book was completely off the hook!!! Just what I like! Good guys win and get the girl, while bad guys get what's coming to them, need I say more. This would make a great TV Mini Series!
