If you're a Michener fan, this book is a must. And if you're not a Michener fan, Centennial will make you one." -- The Pittsburgh Press   "An absorbing work . . .

Synopsis
Written to commemorate the Bicentennial in 1976, James A. Michener's magnificent saga of the West is an enthralling celebration of the frontier. Brimming with the glory of America's past, the story of Colorado--the Centennial State--is manifested through its people: Lame Beaver, the Arapaho chieftain and warrior, and his Comanche and Pawnee enemies; Levi Zendt, fleeing with his child bride from the Amish country; the cowboy, Jim Lloyd, who falls in love with a wealthy and cultured Englishwoman, Charlotte Seccombe. In Centennial, trappers, traders, homesteaders, gold seekers, ranchers, and hunters are brought together in the dramatic conflicts that shape the destiny of the legendary West--and the entire country.

    I've bought these from this seller multiple times. They're a very good value, come with both a USB-A and USB-C cable, thermal pad, and good, simple packaging without a lot of wasted space. Seller often includes a handwritten thank you note too! Nice touch! :)

    The events in the book occur very close to where I live so there is a compelling reason for me to read the book. It is enthralling. I wonder how many of the scientific things that Michener cites have been updated and changed since the book was written. Will have to research that. Enjoyable.

    Great, great book.

    I van't put that book down. I took a break to be on the computer when this review popped up and going to back to it. I'm almost finished. I had the DVD of Centennial years ago but don't have the player or CD anymore and I'll wait till I'm finished with the book and see it on streaming.
