<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>During the winter of 1825, Richard Hamilton--a timid Harvard philosophy student--arrives in St. Louis on business for his father. Robbed and beaten, desperate to save his life, he reluctantly joins the crew of the <i>Maria</i>, a fur trader's keelboat. Bound for the beautiful, wild, and dangerous Indian country of the Upper Yellowstone River, the native Bostonian begins the education and adventure of a lifetime. <p/>On a converging path is Packrat, a Pawnee warrior who captures a beautiful young Shoshone medicine woman named Heals Like a Willow. But slaves with ties to the spirit world can--and do--fight back. <p/>As the <i>Maria</i> struggles deeper into the wilderness, Richard and Willow are cast together: seekers of knowledge and spirit, unwitting adversaries separated by time, space, and birthright. As inevitable as the collision of their two worlds, their love begins to unfold--and with it the terrible consequences of a forbidden consummation. <p/><i><br>The Morning River</i> is the first of The Man from Boston duology from bestselling author W. Michael Gear--a western that has become a classic tale of the dangers and possibilities of the American frontier.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Gear is a vigorous writer....He tells a gripping tale." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"Michael Gear's Indians, mountain men, entrepreneurs, and even effete New Englanders ring faithful to their time and place.
