Critiques

Great book for hi-adventure lovers


(5 stars)

G. A. Henty is one of my favorite authors and this is one of his best books. The reader is very easy to understand and has a pleasant voice.

Fantastic Reading!


(5 stars)

A great job with voices, as well as reading speed.

England to California


(4 stars)

Starts slow but builds in depth to a broad tale. Interesting perspectives of British life and trail across US. Daily realities of living in gold rush era. Young Rachel was amazingly good reading.
