( ) This book is worth the time it takes to read, in spite of its age. The author states that the story "has been told in terms of the people who opened that land and built that civilization, each life story an integral part of the mosaic." He tells the truth. At times the book reminds one of reading one of those "newspapers" one finds at the supermarket counter. For anyone interested in learning about the opening of the states of California, Nevada, Colorado, and Utah, this would be a good book. It is not a technical read, but entertaining and educational. The book includes a bibliography and an index which adds to its value. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Our most acclaimed author of biographical and historical fiction has turned his magnificent talent to telling America's most colorful and exciting story-the opening of the Far West. Men to Match My Mountains is a true historical masterpiece, an unforgettable pageant of giants-men like John Sutter, whose dream of paradise was shattered by the California Gold Rush; Brigham Young and the Mormons who tamed the desert with Bible texts; and the silver kings and the miners who developed Nevada's Comstock Lode and settled the Rockies. America called for greatness ... and got it. There is nothing else in history to match the stories of these men who braved a wilderness to bring a new nation to the shores of the Pacific.
