His loyalties lie with his family first - and his heart is telling him to go west. Hoping to build a new life in the fertile valleys of Oregon, he convinces his best friend, Emmitt Braxton, to pack up their families and join him on a wagon train across the Oregon Trail. The journey will be long and hard. The physical hardships and grueling mental challenges will bring out the best in the some - and the worst in others. But with the guidance of an experienced wagon master and scout, they are determined to reach their destiny, no matter how high the cost....

Twenty-seven wagons. Twenty-seven different hopes and dreams. This sprawling epic novel from a master storyteller captures the beauty and danger of the American West - and the pioneer spirit of those who tamed it....

mostly historicaly correct

This is a tale about Oregon Trail immigrants. It is better than most in the genre because the characters range from stong a brave to violent alcoholics. Points along the trail are specific, and the writer paints those scenes in our minds

Good voice

I like the reader voice and the way he changed the voices to match the people that were in the book
