The doctor saved two women, one he sent home to Illinois, and the other traveled with him, intent on selling snake oil. She was 14 and her father had been killed, leaving her with 4 mules and a medicine wagon. As they traveled in Wyoming, she continually got in trouble as she was also a pickpocket. They finally come to a town that has typhoid. The story of fear, bravery, corruption, and death make a fascinating tale of the west as it was settled. For anyone who loves western stories.
I received an advanced copy for an honest review.This is the second of the Medicine Wagon tales of Dr. Henry Wallace.The author is an excellent teller of tales, with real characters, especially of the good doctor and his protege, young Samantha (although in many ways he is her protege, especially in survival in the west).The wonders of the western landscape, and the conditions of the burgeoning towns and their people are evident in this story. The people are shown to be good, bad and points in between, but Henry ("Doc") is steadfast in his heroic qualities, although they do not hinder the human interest of this tale.Teton Mountain Fever is a real thing, at a time when typhoid was a little understood but virulent disease that was one of many that could beset the west. A traveling Doc becomes essential to fighting the illness and trying to save lives.This tale takes the reader almost headlong through the pages, and you just can't wait to see what further adventures our hero and heroine get into, both from page to page as well as when this chapter in their lives sadly ends. Can't wait for book number 3 in the Medicine Wagon series.
I received an advance copy in return for an honest review. This is the second book in the "Medicine Wagon" series. I was pretty much unable to put the book down until I finished it. It is a decent depiction of the west at a time where the common person had little or no knowledge of disease other than the fact that many diseases (Typhoid, Cholera, Smallpox) could strike without warning, and kill entire communities. This lack of knowledge could indeed cause a harsh response, as shown in the story. I recommend this book highly. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
This is the second in the series of a young doctor forced to leave Boston to hide from a ruthless crime lord that wants him dead. This book isa continuation of his travels west and into a town struck with typhoid fever and what he does to pull them through it. McCarthy is a very goodstory teller and his characters come to life under his pen, you will enjoy this book but I recommend reading book one first. It was my pleasure to read a preview of this book for my opinion.
This is the second book of the series and it is just as good as the first one. Once you start reading it you don't want to put it down. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is an extremely good book.
Moving from Denver to Cheyenne is not far enough, so the next stop is Blue Ridge. It’s a small and unfriendly town where the sheriff is mean and the people cold – until Typhoid fever strikes and threatens them all. Doctor Henry Wallace volunteers, demands ice to cool down fevers, and when the ice runs out, there is no place to go but the high peaks of the Tetons…and no one to go but a Samantha and her mules. Fast action, great old west tone, a fitting sequel. Well worth the time.NOTE – The above is based on a preview copy sent with a request for this unbiased review.
Reader's can't help but love the good guys and despise the bad ones in Gary McCarthy's novels. Doc Wallace, almost a doctor, saves lives and towns while trying to guide loveable but often obnoxious Samantha, an orphan, into a more legal and productive life. My only criticism is that these highly entertaining series end all too soon. I offer this honest review in exchange for being given an pre-release copy to review. Can't wait for the next one!
I really like this series and this book in particular. I will probably be reading all the books as they are released. The story moves fast, and there is some nice depth to the characters. This is outside of the traditional worn-out western plots.
