In the warm months of 1849, twelve men leave Fort Leavenworth on a peace expedition to the far-flung Indian nations. Led by Captain Jedediah Owen, they take the American Fur Company steamboat up the Missouri River and vanish into the wilderness. Months pass, but finally the army asks Jean Gallant, American Fur's finest scout, to search for the missing party. He follows many tangled leads, but his inconclusive findings lead the army to believe that the members of the peace party are dead. After all, a cholera epidemic is rampant and the winter has been unusually harsh. But Captain Owen's strong-minded fiancee, Susannah Saint George, refuses to believe that he's dead. Come spring, she'll hire Gallant to lead her across the thawing plains to find the man who left her with words, "Where the river runs, there will I be."

Richard Wheeler has earned gold with Where the River Runs. Having read quite a few of Mr. Wheelers novels, I was excited when Alibris recommended this as a good read, because of my interests. I really enjoyed this novel, and was really glad to buy a nice used hard-bound large text edition. I was reading along at a chapter or so a day for entertainment, when I got about midway through and the characters converged in the story, At this point I could not put the book down and finished it promptly. Where the River Runs was so good that I recommended it to my daughter, who also found it to be eye candy and stayed up until 330 in the morning to finish it. Thank you Mr. Wheeeler for a real good story.
