Ribbons West

Ribbons West continues the Baldwin family story during the Civil War era as journeys, photography and railroad development carry its characters deeper into the West. Distance from established communities creates freedom but also exposes travellers to violence, isolation and commercial schemes.

The novels present westward movement as morally complicated rather than automatically heroic. Faith, marriage and kinship are tested by divided national loyalties and by the temptation to treat land and people simply as resources for expansion.
