As I finished this It really, Was astonishing to me the tenacity, grit, and Tremendous faith that these Pioneers had to Leave their Homes behind and Travel for months through Rough and treacherous terrain, not to mention the inclement weather conditions they faced. They Had to be a stout and hardy People to endure this trek.I’ve Rode over similar terrain in a Four wheel Drive and I can catch a glimpse of How Tough it must’ve have been for them, But to Do it in a wagon!!! It Just Blows me away!!!!
I also can’t believe what an emotional toll the Families of the trail scouters must’ve payed being away from their families for weeks and months,
That Just Shows me How strong the women were as well, because they never knew how long their Husbands would be away, not to mention having to care for their children and having to deal with very meager rations for themselves, children and animals.
So I Just can’t Say Enough about this Book and my love for My Pioneer ancestors for settling this land in which I live.
Simply amazing Story and people!!!
