Song of Three Friends

The Song of Three Friends is an epic poem by John Neihardt, published as part of his 'Cycle of the West' in 1919. It consists of eight cantos that narrate the journey of three friends—Mike Fink, Will Carpenter, and Frank Talbeau—who travel up the Missouri River in 1822 as part of Ashley's Hundred, seeking fortune in the fur trade. Their friendship is tested by romantic rivalry, leading to tragic consequences. The poem received the 'Best Volume of Verse' award from the Poetry Society of America shortly after its release.
