Roughing it in Fort Edmonton
Historical fiction—set in northern Alberta circa 1806—features winter storms, intrigue, romance, and a cougar attack. Given “that few white females were part of the fur trade in the far north of Canada in the early 1800s,” our reviewer has some reserve about the novel’s focus on Abigail Williams. —Ron Verzuh reviews The Fort, by Christy K.
