Great read

It amazes me how much strength, and bravery, it took for the men and women who made the long, long trip in the wagon trains to the west. Wonderful read about how 13 year old Lindy, and her family survived that trip.

A family travels on the wagon trail to Oregon from Missouri. The story is told from a young girl’s view - Lindy, writes in her journal about it, very interesting and informative!

It was a lot of fun to read. I read it aloud to my preschoolers and my girl loved it and my boys appreciated the life on the trail details. It's a very sweet little book and I found myself wanting to sneak back to it when it wasn't reading time and read ahead!

There are a number of places that would appreciate a good editor, but the story was great.

Redeemed

I read book 2 first and really liked it so I read book 3 thinking it would bring all the family's together. Sadly it did not. I didn't review it because I don't like giving anything but 5 so I decided to read book one. Book one is great too. So I will say read them in order but I was disappointed with book 3.

This had a Little House feel to it. I was looking for an series geared toward an older audience so this didn't fit the bill. It did have some interesting Trail tidbits which I am always looking to read.

Cute little story.

Cute little story.

Fast read, about the trials of a family moving west on the trail. Pioneer spirit, wish we had more of it in our younger generation today.

I really loved this story. As always, I'm amazed at the tenacity of the pioneers of this time period. This book is intermingled with many different characters and their own lives and how they relate to the main character.

Sweet tale

This was a wonderful book. The ups and downs of the journey felt genuine. I was ready for more and sad to see it end.
