À propos de cet audio
Shaman is the prize-winning second volume of Noah Gordon's celebrated Cole trilogy. It is as great a listening experience as The Physician. A New York Times Notable Book.
Dr. Robert Judson Cole travels from his ravaged Scotland homeland, through the operating rooms of Boston, to the cabins of frontier Illinois. In the wilderness he befriends the starving remnants of the Sauk tribe, who have fled their reservation. In the process, he absorbs their culture and learns native remedies that enrich the classical medical education he received at Edinburgh University. He marries a remarkable settler woman he had saved from illness. The details of how their deaf son manages to become a physician also, despite his handicap, and the story of how the Cole family is sucked into the bloody vortex of the Civil War and survives, makes an exceptional listening experience.

Just as good as the first book in the series.
I'm glad I ignored the reviews that said this book was a disappointment. It definitely was not! I liked the narrator better in this book.

Lots to love in this book.
Like a previous reviewer, I thought the narrator was mispronouncing the name of the group of Indians in the book. In fact, he did not. The confusion is around the name of the tribe; the Sauk. The Sioux tribe is also referenced in the book and it was then that I realized they must be two different tribes and that the pronunciation must be correct. You can find lots of information about the Sauk online if you go looking. Having said this I agree that the narrator struggled at times with the American accents and the emphasis on words in various sentences was misleading.
The book is rich in detail and the story is compelling. I enjoyed it very much. The writer is able to weave into the narrative lots of historical information that I, as a Canadian, had never learned about before. The “ Know Nothings” come to mind as well as “The Order of the Star Spangled Banner”. Very revealing on many levels.
Great historical fiction.

Great story, stilted, mispronounced narration
I really love this story with the wonderful character development and historical detail. Fascinating! However, the narrator consistently places the emphasis in odd parts of the sentence and mispronounces some words. For example, he pronounces SIOUX as SOCK instead of SOO. It’s rather disconcerting and distracts from the story.
