   - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta.  Dokfintong | Oct 30, 2021 |   It is 1860, tensions are rising between the States, and a Civil War is brewing. 27 families leave Missouri with a wagon train and follow the Oregon Trail in search of a better life. The writing is very simple but I think that is what gave the book authenticity. I could hear the slow drawl of the leader of the train and the simple down home folk that traveled with him. I latched onto the large group of characters as they encountered Indians, bad weather and all of the other "unknowns" that came with traveling across the country. A good introduction to the genre Western and the author has peaked my interest. I will try another of his books to see if this was a fluke. Either way, it seems to have helped with my reading problem, so thankful for that. (  ) JBroda | Sep 24, 2021 | Author: William W. Johnstone and J. A. Johnstone Pages: 352 Year: 2021 Publisher: Kensington My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. John Zachary and Emmett Braxton are heading west on the Oregon Trail along with others seeking the promised land. The wagon master, Clayton Scofield, and his nephew, Clint Buchanan, will lead the company of travelers through all different types of country. As they set out, who knows how many different kinds of dangers all of them will face? They expect Indians to attack, drought is a real possible hazard and who knows what else but in order to get to greener pastures they all must band together and face the danger head on! Ruby is one of the travelers on the train, and her husband is about to cause trouble for everyone with his antics. There is also Billy who shows up while everyone has already been on the trail. His appearance may not bode well for him or the person he is seeking! Then there is Cal who seems like a card sharp and not a good man, but can appearances be deceiving? Go West Young Man is a wonderful tale that will take readers through many different landmarks on the Oregon Tail. There were times where I felt like I could see in my mind’s eye what the characters were seeing. I enjoyed the various players on the wagon train and how they came together to face some of the scariest moments, or cross various rivers. Grab a copy and enjoy the exciting times the travelers face on The Oregon Trail! Note: The opinions shared in this review are solely my responsibility.

"Missouri, 1860. Rumors of war between the North and South are spreading across the land. In rural Green County, many of the farmers are already choosing sides. But not John Zachary. 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 these master storytellers captures the beauty and danger of the American West--and the pioneer spirit of those who tamed it.."-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
