They came from all walks of life and from different sections of the East.
They were doctors, farmers, lawyers and carpenters, Missourians and Iowans, Republicans and Democrats, Unionists and Confederates, young and old. Their only bond was the fear of crossing a big, beautiful and hostile land to seek new beginnings in the restless West.
Spanning five momentous years, 1863 to 1868, THEY CAME TO A VALLEY is the story of the settlement and development of the Idaho Territory, a huge geographical region savaged by hostile Indians, plagued by thieving roughnecks and exploited by scheming politicians and inept army officers.
Bill Gulick tells the story of the rugged men and brave women who risked everything to carve a future from the wild mountains and deserts of the Pacific Northwest.
Winner of the Cowboy Hall of Fame Western Heritage Award for Best Historical Novel
Genre: Western
