Between the years 1841 and 1869, over 250,000 pioneers headed west on the California Trail. Some were searching for gold and riches, others wanted opportunity, freedom and adventure. Many came for the rich farmland and milder climate. This story chronicles one family’s journey west in 1852, told through the eyes of Katie, age 13.

I fell in love with the story, especially with the main character Katie. The reader learns about the journey West through Katie's letters to her cousin as well as her diary entries. It feels good to experience the outdoors through Katie's eyes. The dicriptions of nature are exquisite. Katie's perils on her journey change her from a curious girl into a strong and resilient young woman. Recommended!
