The year of 1846 would prove to be one of extraordinary adventure for Sam Ogden. The previous year had seen the frontier rampage of Carlos Reyes, whom Sam ultimately killed in a mountainside confrontation. But three years earlier Sam had been the guide and confident of an English nobleman who visited Grand Valley, Colorado on a hunting expedition. The two became friends during the expedition and they continued a regular correspondence during the years that followed. Volume fifteen of the Sam Ogden series describes how the friendship turned into an invitation and a subsequent visit to London by Sam and his family. This new story, Riding the Whirlwind Seas, is the 16th volume in the Sam Ogden Mountain Man Series. It completes another stage in the evolution of 19th Century Frontiersman and his amazing life journey. It is 1846, and after a successful visit to London, spending time with friends, Earl John of Wickham and his wife Lady Carolyn, Sam and Little Fire are returning to America with their daughter, fifteen-year-old Amanda. They have left their son, Jacob to follow his dream of entering Oxford University under the guidance of the Earl. The westward voyage is filled with adventure for the three Ogdens. The author has made the journey by ship from Boston to England, and recently experienced an Atlantic ocean storm while on a cruise out of Baltimore, MD. The reader will find the weeks at sea an amazing panorama of the beauty and danger faced by travelers from Europe in the 19th century. It is still an astounding testimony to the courage and wanderlust of human nature that thousands of ships crossed back and forth during the first half of the century.
