Really good. I am the slowest, most distracted reader in the world, so I tended to forget, between times picking up the book, who the epic heroes were & which bit of trail or cut-off was which-- but still, it really gave a sense of what traveling over land to California in the 1840's was like. Stewart was obviously passionate about his subject, so the writing is very lively.
