I had to overlook some really awkward sentences and some unlikely sexual events, but I did find it to be a page turner. The scenery was well described and I liked reading about life as a packer, something you don't read about everyday.

Early Americans Faced Many Perils!
I purchased this book for my middle school daughter. Boy did it show how hard life was for early Americans traveling across the Oregon Trail. This book is a great way to show today's kids how easy they really have it!
