Catherine's Travels (Paperback)

The chances that we'll find ourselves in a wilderness survival situation are remote, of course. However, immigrants who came to this country, to help settle the vast wilderness of the America of 1820, willingly put themselves in just such circumstances. They prepared themselves for dangerous and long treks across wide stretches of prairie, through dense forests, over mountains and through rivers, but they, too, sometimes met with perilous surprises. We meet such a pioneer in Catherine who comes to America with her family to escape war-torn Austria. Too soon after their arrival, disaster strikes and leaves Catherine to fend for herself in the wilderness of Missouri. Travel with Catherine and experience the loneliness, fear, anger, frustration and tranquility as she finds the strength to survive. "An exciting adventure with romance and laughs: I loved the detail, it was just enough to picture everything without going overboard. The adventures of Catherine and the others had me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. Now I am eagerly waiting to find out what happens next " "She's a true pioneer: This book made the winds of the old days stir again. The eloquence of this book captures the adventure of American wilderness before the steel caves created the sprawling metropolis that dominate the landscape today. Truly enjoyable."
