In the year 1846, sixteen-year-old Martha Burt and her family leave
their homestead in Illinois and travel westward on the trail mapped
out by Lewis and Clark on their return from the Oregon Territory to
Missouri. The men in the wagon train were energized by dreams of
free land and a better life for all, dreams sometimes
incomprehensible to their womenfolk, who endured incredible
hardships on the journey. The wagon train arrives in the Oregon
Territory six months later, having survived sandstorms, Indian
attacks, prairie fires, buffalo stampedes, and the death of many
fellow travelers. Martha grows from a sheltered young girl into a
competent woman. The pioneers are deeply saddened by the loss of so
many loved ones, yet are filled with hope by the possibilities the
future holds.
