Bitter Sweet, 2006-04-26
I was happy to find a continuation of the Westward trilogoy, and the first volumn "Oregon Legacy" was okay. But I was severly disappointed that the connection between the first volumn of the Holts picked up with the middle aged man "Toby", son of Whip Holt who was just a 5-year old of Jefferson Holt at the end of Outpost, the third book of the trilogoy. I expected the American Dynasty to pick up with Whip Holt, not just a token mention of him. A whole generation is lost to the reader. What a dissappointment.
Good new start, 2002-02-13
A continuation of the Wagon's West series by calling it "The Holts" series, this book shows great promise as it makes Tim and Janessa come to the forefront. There are four stories in this book:
1) Janessa starts medical school.
2) Tim runs off to become a miner.
3) Toby runs for senator
4) White Elk courts a chinese girlSurprising, the stories do not conflict with each other, a problem that later books in the series would have. It is a beautifully crafted book. It also illustrates what the rest of the books should have done. It should have stayed with Tim as the focal character in the series. By constantly switching the main characters from book to book, it weaken the series as a whole. Highly recommended book, especially when one wants to read about prejudice towards Chinese.
