Around this eye-of-the-cyclone family swirls the epic that was Fort Peck & its cast of thousands -- con men & G-men, politicos & prostitutes, drawn by the workers who labored above, below & beside the river, through sweltering heat & winters so savage ice formed inside their shanties. And always, there is the river, restlessly eddying toward a tragedy that will entrap some & pardon others. I have long felt about Ivan Doig s books much as Will Rogers must have felt about his fellow human beings -- I ve never met one I didn t like. Doig has concentrated his immense writing talents on telling this epic tale.
