Publisher's Summary:

In the spring of 1884, Jack, an adventurous young man, packs his bags in Victoria, BC, and heads for the prairies, looking for a new life and hoping to get involved in an Indian war. Instead, he lucks into an exciting job in the fur trade and meets and befriends many of the great chiefs of the Cree nation, such as Poundmaker and Big Bear, and ends up between a bullet and a target when the North-West Rebellion erupts.

After witnessing the historic Frog Lake Massacre and the murder of his friends, Jack is captured by the Cree warriors and, later, guides the famous Inspector Sam Steele on the hunt for Cree Chief Big Bear. The Frog Lake Massacre is the first book in a trilogy about a young man who is trying to forge an independent life for himself in the huge and newly established country of Canada. Along the way, he discovers that bravery and loyalty bring their own rewards.

Editorial Reviews:

Authentically and sensitively narrated by Charles Carroll, The Frog Lake Massacre is the first in a trilogy about Jack, a young man grappling with life in the last decades of the 19th century in Canada. As a witness and actor in true historical events, Jack makes his way through the world of fur trapping and European/Native American relations. Bill Callahans narrative is richly detailed with historically accurate description. As much an adventure story as a historical novel, The Frog Lake Massacre makes for good listening while road-tripping through North America, letting the past of this great landscape and continent soak in.

Waste of Money and Time

The sample offers more than the Very Short book delivers. The main character Caleb/Jack starts whining while staked to that tree trunk and never stops. After reading samples of the second and third Very Short books in this trilogy... it appears that he keeps whining through the second and third books also. Throughout the book there are individual descriptive phrases so well written they can convince a reader there is a pony... there isn't. The best thing about this book was learning the author writes good samples that don't become good books. A time and money saving lesson.

Good read!!

I picked this book up at the Banff Visitor's Center to read on the plane home from the Canadian Rockies. It was a good read and entertaining. For those who love history, this book is for you!

excellent read

This is a very good read about a part of the old west history..........Canadian style.

It was a refreshing read with a common thread thru out.

I do recommend this to any one who wants to enjoy a trip down memory lane.
