A Tale of
Three characters, from St. Louis, Chicago, and Scotland, are controlled by what the fates dictate. The time is set in the late 1800s, but it could just as easily be today. A Tale of Three Journeys is available in softcover at Amazon.com. The Tale is 199 pages of action.Review Comments Fantastic Book! Well written and easy to read.
The characters are well-developed and the plot flows nicely though the whole book! You can actually "feel" the
experiences of each character. Highly recommended to all readers. You won't want to put it down!! The author
has a unique gift in character development and his description brings them to life. The narration places
the reader in the middle of each journey — each in their time and place. It is as if the author lived
through that time and place himself. It is difficult to close the book and return to reality.
Having lived in Fairbanks, Alaska, for over two years, I started A Tale of Three Journeys hoping it
would bring back memories of the Far North. Mr. Eskew far exceeded my expectations.
The Tale brought
alive again the feeling of being in that country. His descriptions of the land are spot on. While I
cannot attest to the hardships of being a gold miner, I can attest, if only as a tourist in reality,
the frustration and joys of panning for gold. I panned in the summer of ’67, mind you with 19 in
front. Let me tell you, panning is like a drug. You don’t feel the cold, and that snow-melt water,
even in July, is cold. And all you need to get you hooked is to just see a hint of color in the pan. Good
thing my wife was along or I might still be there panning. Mr. Eskew apparently
has lived the story as I don’t believe anyone could write this stuff unless it
was from the heart. His character development is great. I found myself following
the characters from chapter to chapter and sometimes being disappointed when one
of my favorites was not featured in the next chapter, but happy in knowing he
would resurface in the coming chapters. I recommend A Tale of Three Journeys to anyone who
is interested in history, the Far North, and/or adventure.
