Men to Match My Mountains
“Stone defines this as ‘the story of the opening of a land and the building of a civilization’—and this is the sweeping effect of his saga…It’s a mammoth task, accomplished with zest and a keen sense of capturing history.”
Kirkus Reviews
Acclaimed author of biographical and historical fiction Irving Stone turns his magnificent talent to telling America's most colorful and exciting story-the opening of the Far West.
Men to Match My Mountains is a true historical masterpiece, an unforgettable pageant of giants-men like John Sutter, whose dream of paradise was shattered by the California Gold Rush; Brigham Young and the Mormons, who tamed the desert with Bible texts; and the silver kings and the miners, who developed Nevada's Comstock Lode and settled the Rockies.
America called for greatness-and got it. There is nothing in history to match the stories of these men who braved wilderness to bring a new nation to the shores of the Pacific.
