I have to say, it is a really wonderful book.
If you enjoyed it and would like something similar, I'd reccomend Dancing at the rascal fair by Ivan Doig. Another great book about Scottish families in Montana.
Several years ago I found an audio book of Doig's "This House of Sky", his biographical account of growing up in Montana.

Maclean's other writings, especially on the Mann Gulch forest fire in the late 40's, are also worth checking out.
