Washington (Wagons West Ser. 9)

Rating:
Summary: An interesting, yet not perfect, story.
Review: WASHINGTON! is the book that sets the tone for the rest of the Wagons West! series, as it is the book that establishes Toby Holt as the central character. He was wounded during the War, and now must face returning back home to a wife that he hardly knows. He also must deal with a corrupt lumberman that rules the town of Tumwater like a fiefdom.

However, too much deux ex machina hurts the book. Acts of nature are responsible for all the death surrounding Toby, nit him himself. Also, there were some unnecessary plot twists that were not necessary, like Toby's dog joining a wolf pack for a while and dealing with Nez Pierce.
