Product DescriptionOne snowy fall in the early 1840's, John C. Fremont and his crew of thirtythree men headed to the high country of Colorado. Their mission: to survey the rugged San Juan Mountains for a railroad route. Instead, they found snow up to their shoulders, bonechilling cold, and except for Fremont and his guide death.In the Moro is based on that disastrous Fremont Fourth Expedition which occurred exactly 150 years ago during the winter of 184849. This historical novel teams a retired physician and a retired college history professor in a search for what really happened during the snowbound disaster where men ate their mules and then each other until only two men returned to civilization. The fictionalized but certainly credible ending may surprise you.This wonderful story takes place in southwestern Colorado and northern New Mexico, jumping back and forth between the present and 1849 until the reader feels that he is actually part of the past.Review"If you're looking for a nice marriage of history and intrigue set amid the beautiful Colorado Rockies, In the Moro certainly fills the bill."
