Homeward on the Oregon Trail #3
A Home at Trail's End
Bestselling author Melody Carlson (more than 5 million books sold) continues her Homeward on the Oregon Trail series with this third and final adventure.
Elizabeth Martin and her two children have finally reached the Oregon Country. But Eli Kincade, the wagon train scout who captured her heart, has chosen to continue life on the trail. As other pioneer families begin building new homes, Elizabeth has never felt more alone.
However, when Eli unexpectedly returns, confesses his love, and proposes, Elizabeth accepts with her family's blessing.
A community begins to take shape, but not without growing pains. As an alternative to the local minister's fiery sermons, Elizabeth's father begins to preach at home, raising the ire of some. Racial biases arise against Brady, Elizabeth's African-American hired hand. Eli's warm sentiments toward Indians also raises concerns.
Can Elizabeth and her family overcome these differences and begin a legacy of reconciliation and love?

A New Home.
I have never read a book written by Melody Carlson that I didn't love! I so enjoyed all three books of this series. The gifted author has the ability to draw readers into her stories and I felt so much as though I was right there with the characters as they forged out a new life in Oregon. I gladly gave five Stars for this entertaining story.
I shall really miss the characters that I have grown to love while reading all three of the books. The first two books covered the traveling from Kentucky to the Oregon trail and on to where the group planned to settle. Then in book three the settlers built their homes and businesses . Covering the first two and a half years of their new life.
All readers who enjoy Historical fiction and historical romance will love this series. It's Christian fiction at its best. The author has done her researching well about traveling by covered wagons in the mid eighteen hundreds. Also about
frontier settlements and how people lived in that time period.
I bought a Kindle ebook copy of this book from Amazon. A positive review was not requested. All opinions shared here are my own.

I think this is an outstanding series - love this final book in the series! It was a blessing to win this from Melody Carlson, and due to challenges of health and working schedule changes, read this and the first two books in the series in about a week. (Have a bad habit of waiting until I have the whole series before starting to read it...)
To me, the marks of good novels include excellence in writing, learning something new, and looking forward to the next book in the series. 5 stars for excellence in writing! Since this is the end of the Homeward on the Oregon Trail series, I look forward to reading some of Melody's other books (and already downloaded another series on my Kindle).
I learned details of daily living challenges of those making the arduous trek on the Oregon Trail as well as on the frontier as settlers. I also learn how those in Christian marriages interact and respond to blessings and trials, and see the prayers of the families and individuals.
While I won't give away the joys of the concluding events, A Home at Trail's end was a richly satisfying read in which one feels a part of the new settlement and Elizabeth's family - and the only read sadness was reading the final page, having reached the end.
If you haven't yet read on of Melody Carlson's books, do yourself a favor and dive into the 'Homeward' series!

Eli and Elizabeth prepare for their wedding and their lives together in Oregon by building a new home and helping their family and friends.
I learned the wedding dress color poem from the 1800's:
white--chosen right
blue--love will be true
yellow--ashamed of her fellow
red--wish herself dead
Black--wish herself back
gray -- travel far away
pink--of you he'll always think
green--ashamed to be seen

Melody Carlson in her new book, “A Home At Trail’s End” Book Three in the Homeward on the Oregon Trail series published by Harvest House Publishers concludes the journey of Elizabeth Martin.
From the back cover: The end of a journey–the beginning of a new life
After overcoming the challenges of the Oregon Trail, Eli Kincaid, the handsome scout for the wagon train, has realized that his love for Elizabeth Martin is stronger that his affinity for life on the trail. While Elizabeth and her children stay with Malinda, also a widow with children, Eli builds a cabin and Elizabeth plans their wedding.
But how will the area’s residents feel when they find out that Elizabeth is also secretly sheltering a lone Indian woman and her young child on her property? Or that her hired hand–a freed slave–is building his own cabin, despite laws against blacks becoming permanent residents? And when Malinda’s fiance decides frontier life is not right for him, Elizabeth must help pick up the pieces of her dear friend’s heart.
Can Elizabeth and Eli carve out a new life and share God’s love in spite of the turmoil? The heartwarming conclusion to the Homeward on the Oregon Trail series depicts the transforming power of love and faith on the rugged Oregon coast.
This is it, we have made it to the end of the journey and now begins the process of settling down in a new community. Eli finally comes to his senses and proposes, then sets out to build their new home. Elizabeth has never been on this journey for herself and now that she is settling down she continues her tradition. She shelters an Indian woman and her child on her property and helps her freed slave build his own cabin even though that is against the law. The people don’t like the preacher and want Elizabeth’s father to hold church for them and Malinda has problems of her own. It wouldn’t be a Melody Carlson book without the romance though and Elizabeth has her hands full planning for her wedding. ”A home At Trail’s End” is great fun to read. Ms. Carlson has a great way of telling the story and moving it along at a nice pace. Her characters are wonderful and she gives them life and unique voices. All this and in a Western. What more can anyone desire? A really enjoyable read.

I enjoyed the first two books in this series – the second one probably better than the first – so I was interested to see what would happen as the folks from the wagon train settled into their new lives in Oregon. There are so many characters that were introduced throughout the course of the first two novels that it was sometimes difficult to keep everyone perfectly straight. I was very glad that there was a “cast of characters” page in the beginning of the book.
The small conflicts that come up in this novel – for example, Elizabeth and her friend Malinda dealing with some jealously and bickering – were really good examples of how to resolve conflict as a Christian. Although Elizabeth usually seemed to be on the side of “right” in these conflicts, it wasn’t always the case, and it helped to keep Elizabeth from seeming to be too perfect.
The bigger circumstances that arose, however, did make Elizabeth and her family seem too good to be true. I loved the fact that they wanted to treat African-Americans and Native Americans with respect and that they wanted to help with the church and with their new neighbors. But after a while it just seemed as if Elizabeth and her husband, Eli, and her dad, Asa, were just always going around fixing everyone else’s problems for them. It made them seem too perfect compared to everyone else around them, which was somewhat annoying.
Overall, however, I enjoyed seeing how everything came together for these people and this town after their long and grueling journey.

A Home at Trail's End
I want this series to continue on. The series starts with the dream of going west. The preparations, the pro's and con's; all examined and explored. Then the decision is made.
In the second book you're privy to all the trials and tribulations of the long journey west. Along the way friendships and romances developed.
This last book in the series is the culmination of all they endured and the new trials of homesteading. There are happy times with marriages, births and new homes. As well as trials, weather, prejudices, miscarriages and other issues of a new frontier.
The characters in this series are good God loving, hard working people. You grow attached to them and I for one would love to see how these characters lives continue through the years. Maybe there will be another book in the series. I strongly recommend this book as well as the whole series. You won't be disappointed!

A Home at Trail's End by Melody Carlson is Book 2 of a series. Centers about establishing homes as well as a town at the end of the Oregon Trail. Second marriages for those who lost spouses either during the trip or shortly after reaching Oregon. Time frame is 1859. If the reader has finished Book 1 of the series, most of the characters would be well known. However, it is not a ‘requirement’. The author has done a good job in presenting these “folks”.
On a personal note, the book was a bit too “preachy” and “politically correct” for me to enjoy fully although for some readers it will be exactly what they are looking for.

I thouroghly enjoyed this books! It was about the settlers buidling home in Oregon. Faith, love, hard work and honor are the values in this book.
This is definitly a book for all ages to witness a bit of the history of settling in Oregon--a far different climate from the Boston and the Kentucky climates from which these pioneers came.

Transports you to another time
This series of three books is extremely well written. It is easy to get lost in this time of the pioneers and feel as though you are witnessing their lives. Melody Carlson has painted an amazing picture with her words.

My three stars for this book are mainly nostalgic. My mom loaned this entire series to me after she read it and loved it. She and I have a long history of sharing books, and this particular series brought back memories of when I was 16 and read the Love Comes Softly series with her. These, however, are nowhere near as good as that classic series.
I did enjoy the first book and had high hopes that plummeted for book two then sank even lower for book three. There were things that kept me reading, for sure. Would Will and Malinda actually get married? Would the settlers accept freed slave Brady? How would Elizabeth help the native woman and her child? (None of these are spoilers, by the way. You get all this from the blurb on the back of the book.)
But mainly I wanted to know more about Eli. Surely in this book, now that they're married, we'd get lots of meaty conversations between him and Elizabeth. Well, for starters, almost the entire first half of the book is wedding planning. Which got tedious, let me tell you. While Eli built their house which he wanted to be a surprise. So, you guessed it, no conversations. Even after they were married, the book was all about Elizabeth setting up house and visiting with the women while Eli was off being his handsome, mysterious, frontier self. I guess.
Also, call me shallow, but when two people are supposedly in love, I want some kissing. And I don't mean "Eli pressed a kiss to Elizabeth's lips." I mean some kissing that makes me swoon. And don't tell me Christian writers can't deliver some swoony kisses. Jannete Oke (aka Love Comes Softly) knew how to write some romance, thank you very much, and this wasn't it. I was also hoping for some cuddling in bed (which Oke also gave plenty of), but nope. Oke could also make you swoon just with heated looks across a room. This book doesn't have those either. Very disappointing.
Overall, Eli, who started out so interesting in book one, is just vaguely in the background somewhere.
I was also completely fed up with Malinda. I seriously had no sympathy for her whatsoever. I really didn't care if Will headed back East instead of marrying her. He probably realized she was a whiny brat. She was mostly awful to Elizabeth to the point I didn't see how they were best friends. Do people say frenemy anymore? Maybe not, but it describes Malinda.
As for the questions above that had me guessing, they got mostly answered, but not in a satisfying way. And Brady, who we have invested in for three books, gets hidden away in the background. Will he ever get to enjoy life in this newly settled town? Or will he keep having to hide on the land owned by Elizabeth and her family? This is never resolved.
I gave this three stars because I kept reading and read fairly quickly. And it wasn't poorly written or anything. It was just sort of "meh." Which is a shame because it started off so well.

Elizabeth and her family and friends have finally arrived in Oregon. The trip was long and arduous but they made it and now they have to rush to get their homes built before the rainy season starts. Elizabeth originally agrees to the plan for her house to be built last, but now that she and Eli are getting married she wants her home sooner rather than later. With everything else going on in their settlement, she sees an Indian woman and child hiding on her property, even though she's been told all the local tribes have been re settled up north. Plus with general unrest of people who aren't white, Brady is more or less hiding on their property as well to prevent difficulty for the family. Her best friend Malinda isn't the support system she needs either, and is instead focused on her own wedding and critiquing things in Elizabeth's life. Maybe they should have just stayed in Kentucky, where even though they didn't always see eye to eye with their neighbours they at least knew what to expect.
Don't believe the blurb on this book, it's not nearly as dramatic as it sounds. this book was probably my least favourite in the trilogy. The ending just seemed sudden, and unnecessary. I'm glad they got their happily ever after, but I think they could have put it in the last book in an epilogue and not had the whole book. I think she wanted you to see the hardship they faced after arriving, but all in all the book was rather uneventful

Elizabeth's family has made it to Oregon and are settling into their new town and new lives. I don't think there really needed to be a third book, honestly. The Dawson family remained even more perfect, changing the lives of people around them just by being so perfect, and they added Eli to those ranks quickly. Did Eli even have a personality here, outside of being perfect? Elizabeth is progressive for her time period, but she did nothing to help Brady with the settlers (though she had no problems speaking up for him on the trail) and she "helped" Mara and Rose by stripping them of their Native identities and presenting them to the town. Would she have helped Brady had she been able to make him white, too? Malinda was a fairly normal person, who seemed very imperfect and wrong next to Elizabeth. I had some sympathy for her, being the bff of such a paragon! Anyway, whatever, yay frontier life, yay Christmas.

I definitely enjoyed this 3rd and final book in the series, though I did find it hard to keep all the characters straight (maybe I'm just getting OLD?) But that being said, there were a lot of side stories to keep it from being boring. All in all, great story-writing, good, strong main characters, with some interesting side characters. I finished it, hoping another book had been added to the series.

Making Oregon Home
Elizabeth and Eli finally marry and many things happened in their lives. Their new home that Eli built along with help from Asa, Matthew and Brady was everything that Elizabeth could want. More marriages, babies and new stores were added to their town and that town got a name, Rivsrside. Elizabeth continued to help her neighbors and life was wonderful. Read this book and enjoy.

Oregon Statehood
What a fine ending! Have truly enjoyed this story and the three books that it took to make it complete. Too bad, the Indian story seemed a little forced, but I was surprised to learn that Oregon had such a law. Such a sad time for the treatment of native Americans.

I loved the entire series. I wish there was more, just because I don't want to say good bye to the characters! I really appreciated how well written these books are!

This last book of the series, once again filled with great historical and geographic descriptions was a more predictable than the first two.

I really enjoyed this final book in the series. These historical romances are nice clean books with an interesting snapshot of the past.

A nice conclusion to the Oregon Trail series. After completion of the trail, the story slowed down a bit for me, but definitely worth reading to see how everyone settles into frontier life.
February 26, 2022
This series was a good calm read! I love to read about our pioneers and admire their strength, faith and camaraderie.

Really enjoyed the last book in the series. Kind of wished there was more books to continue the lives of the characters! Very educational, as well. I will miss the families adventures.
