We follow their fortunes in the Two Medicine country at the base of the Rocky Mountains: the building of homes and the raising of families, making a living and making a life. Doig wrote this novel after English Creek as part of his McCaskill trilogy-which also includes Ride with Me, Mariah Montana-but read Dancing at the Rascal Fair first).įrom its opening on the quays of a Scottish port in 1889 to its close on a windswept Montana homestead three decades later, this novel is a passionate and authentic chronicle of the American experience. ![]()
