Review of American River: Tributaries
[Following is a volunteer review of "American River: Tributaries" by Mallory M. O'Connor.]
Have you ever wondered about a book or thought that could provide you with the perfect adventure, historical facts, romance, toil, war, and justice? American River: Tributaries by Mallory M. O’Connor are a great choice for you.
The book’s story starts in the sixth month of 1859 in Morckingbird Valley, where he lived a man named Cormac Everette, he moved from his native home land to California, mainly to secure his property as he was the main owner of the valley.
Later, Juan Morales, who is the son of the former California rancher, comes and inherits the property of Rancho La Posas, located on the American River. Sooner than he knew, the act was passed to declare California a state and treaties were passed. Juan lost all his property as he was forced to flee with his family to Mexico as they had to start a new, fresh, and hard life.
I enjoyed the story to the point that I found myself smiling and bored and hearty at the same time. For all of Juan Morales' strength and struggles to secure the land, he finally lets it go to the rancher. Thus, while his son asked him if they would ever come back, the question heartened him, but he openly told his son the truth that they would never. Therefore, for Christ’s sake, after his leave, he knew that he would never come back, but later, through the toil and struggles of life, they retrieved their property of seven hundred acres of land.
I found parts one and two to be the most digressive for me. After all the strength of Cormac to enrich himself through his hard work, he loses all the property after the passing of a treaty that was declared by the United States Congress that favored other communities based on their races. Secondly, I was so ashamed and felt the wrath of the treaty. When the United States Congress demanded the land holders submit their titles for confirmation, after they confirmed and found Juan’s appeal, they denied it. Therefore, because they knew the process and its cost for trial would not favor him, they forced Juan to bear the situation as he accepted the ruling. He then sells the property to a California rancher at a miserable price as he moves out.
Based on the great flow of the narrative and the use of well-developed characters who sound like life and the story being a coming-of-age, I give the book American River: Tributaries by Mallory M. O'Connor a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. Secondly, the book contains a pretty few errors, but it does not reduce the book’s enjoyment.
I recommend this book to mature readers, due to its use of romance phrases and terminology. Second, anyone interested in learning about the historical facts of war and its various courses, as well as the impact of racism, should read this book.Lastly, to all who like stories that entail adventure, hope, toil, and romance, this book is for them.
