Book
Going home ; and Downriver / Richard S. Wheeler.
<b>Going Home:</b> The year is 1832. Six years after he deserted the Royal Navy, Barnaby Skye has a chance to return to England to clear his name and take up employment with the Hudson's Bay Company. With his devoted Crow wife, Victoria; an eccentric botanist named Alistair Nutmeg; a strange pariah dog following along, Skye makes his way west to journey home. The problem: Skye is as much a magnet for trouble as he is a legend among mountain men. The frontiersman fights Mexican bandits, murderous Pacific coastal Indians, thirst, starvation, and despair, as he learns the true meaning of home and honor.
<b>Downriver:</b> In the summer of 1838, the beaver-trapping business is dying out. When Barnaby Skye is offered a chance to become a post trader in his Crow wife's homeland, he journeys to St. Louis to work for the mighty managers of the Upper Missouri Outfit. The two-thousand-mile voyage down the Missouri River steamboat Otter offers dangers at every turn--but the real danger lies in another passenger on the paddle-wheel steamer, the Creole fur-brigade leader Alexandre Bonfils. This nefarious man is a rival for the job Skye is seeking...and he's determined to be the only candidate by the time the Otter reaches the city.
