The three young Armstrong brothers, Elijah (15), Moses (18), and Enoch (21), aft er the death of both of their parents, decide to head west seeking their fortunes. They first head to St. Louis, Missouri, where they quickly sign up for this three year beaver trapping expedition deep into the lethal heart of the untamed West.

These brothers will contend with hostile Indians, with the unforgiving natural terrain, and with some dangerous animals, including the most feared creatures of this time, grizzly bears.

However their parents have instilled in them an unerring moral compass, this deep sense of fairness, and a profound love of family which will serve them well in the Heart of the West.

This is a well written and exciting read, and the writer did a good job of instilling fine principles, good morals, and a true sense of friendship in these three brothers. LeRoy also humanized the native tribes, and did not just make them total savages. There is some excellent action and adventure, as well as some likable characters in this one. Fans cannot wait to check out more from this series and this author.

The tribes do band together sometimes to battle against their common enemy, which is the warring and aggressive Blackfoot tribe.

Then Enoch kills the brother of Blackfoot warrior Dog Killer during a Blackfoot raid, and this crazed and sadistic warrior, whose name refers to calling his enemies dogs while he cruelly dispatches them, has sworn vengeance. Dog Killer vows to track Enoch to the ends of the earth. He means not just to kill Enoch but also his family, his brothers, and anybody else he holds dear.

However family means everything to Enoch, and he just may have to ratchet up his own level of crazy in order to defend his loved ones.
