The lives of a soldier and a trapper become intertwined when a series of robberies plague a trading post in unsettled Colorado Territory. While searching for the perpetrators the two men become a part of a discovery that could forever change our understanding of colonial history in the New World.
Colorado Territory, 1836
The U.S. Army assists a band of fur trappers with finding the culprits behind a series of mysterious raids that they have sustained over the last year. Private William Bell meets a charismatic young mountain man who assists the military in their search for the perpetrators.
An alternate history of the United States' conquest of the West unravels in this lyrical story told between two interweaving timelines. A pair of dramatic narratives, split between 1599 and 1836, fatally come to a head in the foothills of the Rockies. Newbird is an exciting and curious journey spliced richly into the dense and complex history of colonization in the New World.
For readers who appreciate explorations of the American West as well as instances of vivid storytelling, Newbird will be worth their time. Tyler David Rigdon has packaged this four-century-long work of historical fiction with a near-encyclopedic chronicle of those centuries, and the result is impressive.-Regina Oliver (BookSirens)
