1. By Sorrow's River: Volume 3 of the Berrybender
Narratives (Unabridged)
At the heart of this third volume of his Western saga remains the beautiful and
determined Tasmin Berrybender, now married to the "Sin Killer" and mother to their
young son, Monty. Although Tasmin intends Montyto be an English gentleman like his
grandfather, he lives the childhood of a savage.By Sorrow's River continues the
Berrybender party's trail across the endless Great Plains of the West toward Santa
Fe, where those lucky enough to survive the journey intend to spend the winter. Along
the way, Tasmin, whose husband, Jim Snow, has moved out to scout ahead, falls in
love with Pomp Charbonneau, only to see him killed by the ruthless commander of
the Spanish troops.The Berrybenders meet up with a vast cast of characters from the
history of the West: Kit Carson, the famous scout; Le Partezon, the fearsome Sioux
war chief; The Ear Taker, an Indian whose specialty is creeping up on people while
they are asleep and slicing an ear off with a sharp knife; two aristocratic Frenchmen
whose eccentric aim is to cross the Great Plains by hot air balloon; a party of slavers
led by the cowardly but bloodthirsty Obregon; a band of raiding Pawnee; and many
other astonishing characters who prove that the rolling, grassy plains are not as
empty as they look.
