Reviews
"This novel brings us to the heart of one of the most intriguing mysteries of the Western frontier--the guilt or innocence of an early lawman hanged by Montana vigilantes. This compelling story from America's past is beautifully written. The author's meticulous research has unearthed colorful details which re-create daily life during the gold-rush era. A delightful, rewarding read!" --Western historian R. E. Mather, "By providing her schoolteacher protagonist with a portable writing desk, the poetry of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the novels of George Eliot, and the notion that 'the observations of a woman' traveling west along the Missouri should be 'no less interesting than those of Clark and Lewis,' novelist Diane Elliott has made Electa Bryan a credible narrator whose decision 'to record the whole of it' affords readers a new perspective on one of the most famous--or infamous--incidents in Montana history. Rich in the details of everyday living--riverboat travel in the midst of the Civil War, women's work on the Sun River government farm, married life in Bannock's Yankee Flats--and sprinkled with the comings and goings of such familiar figures as Granville Stuart, Johnny Grant, and Sidney Edgerton, Strength of Stone invites a willing suspension of disbelief and serves as a strong reminder that life, love--and even history--are all a matter of perspective." ¿Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith, Women in Waiting in the Westward Movement, "By providing her schoolteacher protagonist with a portable writing desk, the poetry of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the novels of George Eliot, and the notion that "the observations of a woman" traveling west along the Missouri should be "no less interesting than those of Clark and Lewis," novelist Diane Elliott has made Electa Bryan a credible narrator whose decision "to record the whole of it" affords readers a new perspective on one of the most famous--or infamous--incidents in Montana history.

Dvd arrived quickly and well packaged and taken care of. The item was listed as acceptable and met all of my needs but here's a quick description of what I got: Some wear is visible on the plastic sleeve on the outside of the case. The inside leaflet was still there! The disk has about 3 very notable scratches, although none are bigger than about 2 centimeters. Little to no grime anywhere on the product. Great service!
