George Brunt traveled with his family to settle in Idaho Falls in the early days of the city. This book generally tries to be accurate to his history. However, it is a work of historical fiction and thus takes liberties to make a good story. The story is very optimistic. Even when bad things happen, they are only brief blips before things go well again. Life in century-ago Idaho Falls was not easy. However, people always were there to help each other out. There was a strong desire to work hard, but there was a communal need to help each other out. The biggest fault of the book is lack of maps. It would be great if there were maps showing the present and past locations described in the book.
