This review is from: The Westward Tide (Wilderness) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the 32nd book in the Wilderness Series. I have read all 32 of them. This one is about Zack King and his bride to be returning to their beloved mountains from visiting her people in St. Louis. They can't wait to get back to the Rocky Mountains and his parents and sister. They encounter a band of settlers who need his knowledge badley. He agrees to guide them because of the women and children they have with them. They experience a run in with the Pawnee. Later Louisa May Clark, Zack's bride to be, is captured by the Sioux. It is interesting how she gets away from them. The book is a fairly quick read. I did not like it as well as the ones about his father Nate King and his mother who is a Shoshone. This book is nearly like one of the others when Nate King led a wagon train himself.I hope David Thompson does not start repeating parts of his books like William Johnstone has appeared to do in his Mountain Man Series. If you like mountain men, early settlers and indians I would suggest the Wilderness series starting with Book one. I think the earlier books were better that this one.
