Publisher's Summary
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.

Interesting listen but spoiled
Agree with a previous reviewer that some of the mispronunciations are appalling and a blight on Audible itself for not reviewing and correcting the narrator's efforts.
I must admit that as a young schoolboy I was puzzled at how the spelling Sioux could be pronounced as Soo, but never did I dream that a paid narrator would pronounce it as sox, I mean how many 'spaghetti westerns' does it take to get the message across ????
But I may be confusing the narrator's pronunciation of the word Sauk, or Sok, a completely different tribe from the Sioux. That is one of the downsides of an audio book as opposed to the printed version.
But, a 'schooner' of beer, quite a large glass, is a skooner not a "shooner".
