A Frontier Historic Colorado Story

De: Kari August

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Amazon #1 Bestseller in Frontier & Pioneer Western Fiction

Praise for Kari August: “Entertaining, original, exceptionally well written . . . impressive storytelling talents.” Midwest Book Review

The harsh and rugged Colorado frontier of 1875 is not the type of place most would consider suitable for a recent widow to establish a home of her own. Yet that is exactly what Henrietta Schodde determines she will do as she impetuously buys a cabin in the newly forming settlement of Estes Park. Despite assurances from Henrietta that the locals appear amiable, her relatives are concerned and recruit the assistance of long-time family friend Collan Wallace, who unbeknownst to Henrietta, has also just begun homesteading in the area. The last thing Collan desires is to watch over the woman who has been his nemesis since childhood. But the pair quickly realize that there is more than each other to fight about when they discover an unscrupulous Englishman, Lord Dunraven, is hungry for their land. Endearing and engaging, Settling the Wind, is historical fiction based on actual events that reveals the courage of Colorado’s pioneers in the face of more struggles than they could have imagined.

really good story, virtual reading ok

likable characters, good story! virtual reading wasn't the worst, would have been nice to hear the characters accents.

Interesting to learn more about the Frontier in historical fiction.
The relationship with the Indian women is heartwarming.

Great Historical Novel

Very much enjoyed this book based out of my current state of Colorado. Great characters, strong descriptions of the time period and a fun storyline created a great book. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Good story—unfortunate performance bot

Interesting story, but the performance is distracting. Lots of mispronounced words and odd phrasing…it has to be a bot or automated voice. No English speaking human would make such mistakes.
