Review

"In Lost River, Paxton Riddle has crafted a taut and compelling novel that vibrantly recreates the clash of cultures in the American Northwest. Riddle makes his debut as a new talent of uncommon vigor. His research is immaculate, and his understanding of the time and culture rivals that of Alvin Josephy's." -- W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear, authors of The Visitant and People of The Lakes

"Pax Riddle's first novel, Lost River, is historical fiction the way it should be written. It's a gripping tale, well told, concerning a too-little-known episode in American history. You'll be entertained as you read it and, after the fact, on reflection, you'll realize you've also learned something along the way." -- Robert Conley, UKB Cherokee, author of The Actor and Mountain Windsong

"With his first novel, Paxton Riddle has made a significant contribution to the literature of this country's native peoples. He writes with a clear voice about a little-known and tragic episode in our nation's history. Lost River has the ring of authenticity and heart." -- Lucia St. Clair Robson, author of Ride The Wind and Fearless: A Novel of Sarah Bowman
