An incredible read; an incredible story, make that stories. I couldn't wait to get home every night to continue the never ending saga of these men of heroic proportions. The depth of information by the author woven into an amazing technicolor fabric of a story that really needs to be told and told well is in this book. I became immersed in the lives of these characters and characters they were; I could almost feel what they felt as they lived their lives among that untamed wilderness we simply call the west, however, the lives of these amazing men was anything but simple.

I have read many books about various mountain men of the 19th century. Give Your Heart To The Hawks does the best job of bringing these men to life. You experience the cold of the mountain streams, the smell of buffalo cooking, the warmth of a fire, the constant anxiety from danger, and the hardships these men endured, just as you were right there with them in the early 1800's. After I read it, I read it again. Then I read it again. Then I headed for the mountains.

It has been many years since I read this book. What I do remember is that I loved it so much I loaned it to someone who loved it so much they never returned it. So I bought another and loaned it to someone who loved it so much . . . well, you get the picture. Once folks get their hands on this one, they just don't want to let it go. History and folklore of the Old West really come alive between its covers. A great book to read aloud to friends sitting around a campfire at night.
