Jean Talon, a shipwright from Canada, comes upon a dying man on a lonely trail. As he comorts him as he can he gets just enough information to begin an unplanned journey west.
A short, quick read with bits of historical facts thrown in for added flavor. Helpful people always appear, bad guys are obvious, there is a girl but that is not settled until the very last paragraph. Probably would have been better as a short story as about half the book is a bit contrived.
As always when thinking of the story as a whole it is good, just not well written.
