A single woman and her brother join a wagon train headed to Oregon for a fresh start in life. Neither of them were equipped for what lie ahead. This is their story with all the heartache and triumphs that went with it. I definitely recommend!
I love reading about the pioneers and their everyday struggles and triumphs. This was for the most part an easy read. What could be improved upon is the proofreading. The last 20% of the book got worse the closer to the end it got. It seemed that not only was the proofing rushed but the story also seemed rushed like possibly a deadline to have it finished. Personally, I’d rather have a book come out a bit late than to have this many errors.
This was my first book by A.T. Butler. The story was well enough written that I have pre-ordered book 2 of this series. It looks like it may be about another wagon train headed to Oregon. I’m hoping at some point we learn about these characters lives once they begin their new lives there.
The author has penned a beautiful story of a young, spoiled society girl, who because of her brother’s misdeeds, finds herself on the way to Oregon via wagon train. This is Caroline’s story. When she begins the trip with her brother, she expects all the luxuries of a society girl from New York but along the way she begins to see life through the eyes of “ordinary” people and change begins to happen. Be sure to read this book to find out what happens to Caroline. You will experience hardship, friendship, danger, death, accidents, and romance. While this is the first book by this author I have read it will not be my last. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
Another great story in the An Oregon Trail Western Adventure series a story that kept me turning pages. Caroline Harper is one very strong lady that goes through so much, she falls in love with Daniel Mills,but the wagon train they are with will run into trouble sending Daniel to try and get help. Will they get their happy ending? I enjoyed seeing this story come together. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The growth, strengths, and flaws on display.
What a hard way to learn the facts of life for both John and Caroline. The business destroyed, loss of home and the life they knew has the brother and sister setting off from New York. They finally decide to set out with a wagon train going west. The book was written so well it shows how hard the trip was, the happy parts, but also the sad parts. It also shows the growth, strengths, and flaws these characters had. This is book that you must-read if you enjoy books about the old west and pioneers. This was a downright good tale that I highly recommend. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Pioneer Courage on the Oregon Trail
What a good story! This book tells the tale of a New York City socialite’s journey along the Oregon Trail. While she was grossly unprepared for the trail life, she made up for that with resilience, courage and backbone. This is a well-written story that makes the reader feel like she is there; walking the trail, breathing in the dust, and being thirsty, hungry, and scared. I think the only thing the author missed was a violent thunderstorm and /or tornado while on the high plains. The author also hits the mark in the idealism that drove people to leave their homes to travel west. This ‘American Dream’ is still in evidence today. This is a wonderful book that I truly enjoyed. I was given this ARC to read by the author, but would have gladly paid money to read this story. This is my honest opinion.
