From my Goodreads entry for this book:
Moontrap, The Coast of Oregon, 1850... by Don BerryMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
When I bought this, at the Book Exchange in Missoula, I thought that I was getting myself a light western set on the Oregon Coast. It turned out to be much more than that, and I've since learned that Berry was a respected and serious writer.
I must admit it took me a while to get into it, perhaps because I found the writing style a bit irritating and the characters unsympathetic. But as I got further in I started appreciating the writing more, and empathizing with the various old trappers having trouble fitting in to a world of more law and order. And it just got more and more enjoyable until the rather tough ending.
