Reviews for The Big Sky
Review - Big Sky, The
A lot of choppy, poetry-style writing with no characters to root for and no real plot. Just some sulky guy wandering around the west without purpose.

| Notes: | Boone Caudill runs away from home at 17 and becomes a mountain man. He partners with Jim Deakins and Dick Summers and lives with a squaw, Teal Eye. When Teal Eye's child has a trace of red in its hair, Boone wrongly suspects Jim and kills him. He returns to civilization to see his family and realizes that he's goofed up and destroyed the two of the three things that matter to him, his friend and his woman. The other thing he cares about, the west, is being overrun by settlers. |
