Description

Dive into The Song of Three Friends, one of the five epic poems in Neihardts Cycle of the West. In eight captivating cantos, this tale follows three adventurers—Mike Fink, Will Carpenter, and Frank Talbeau—as they journey up the Missouri River in 1822, embarking on a quest for fortune in the fur fields of the Rocky Mountains. However, their camaraderie is tested when love for the same woman leads to tragic consequences. Celebrated for its lyrical beauty, The Song of Three Friends earned the title of Best Volume of Verse from the Poetry Society of America shortly after its release. - Summary by Fritz
