I loved the historical information, especially the mules. That helped me really appreciate the mules on their trip. The relationship between the brothers and their different family experiences were mostly interesting. There could have been more information about his struggle with his dad, but I still got the overall gist of it. There are a couple times he gets more political than seems necessary. Land especially out west can be a political, so I understand it couldn't completely be avoided. My only other complaint would be that there were some parts that seemed to drag on, so I'm glad I was listening to it because then I could just speed up the audio.
Overall some parts were really interesting and I can't believe he actually thought to try that again. It mostly brought to life what the pioneers had to do to get out there.
