Shadows of Memory

A family saga, live the life as pioneer in old Wyoming, on the beautiful Green River. Walk the paths of youth, of the young boys and girls. Watch our unbridled spirits. Meet Billy Dove Donner, the hero. Listen to pa tell us boys about "brains not yet," good grief. Taste the Civil War and courage of the human mind and body. Be there as Billy is wounded; and comes up short with amnesia. Travel with Billy and his wife Mary as they search for his home and memory. Walk among giants of the westward movement, the builders of Western America. Work alongside the folks of the Union Pacific Railroad and live with workers and camp followers. Revisit with Soapy La Rue, a little older now, however, still with spirit and zest. Live the lusty life and the morality of it all. Climb the High Sierra as the Central Pacific Railroad goes over the top. Stop and witness the camps along the way, Hairy Ann's, Molly's Nipples, and Lotta. Feel the pain and hurt as things go wrong. Then, be happy, as (Bear) your Vizsla dog becomes a national hero. Chase bad guys and witness the silliness of it all. Laugh at the fickle lady and watch Billy squirm. Don't miss Lucky Butterworth and his tall tales. Be there, as Billy, Mary and Bear return home to Wyoming and to a hero's welcome. Come to my wedding and visit with our President, General Grant, and attend Billy Dove
