Blood and Thunder

An Epic of the American West
Mar 15, 2018SPPL_János rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
Legendary frontiersman Kit Carson looms in the foreground of a story that ranges from the great land-grab of the Mexican-American War to the subjugation of the Navajo. Like a scout breaking trail in a vast wilderness, historian Sides finds the essential paths to dramatize the broad story of the United States' westward expansion, and succeeds in conveying the complex motivations of settlers, soldiers, and natives.
