This book is a sequel to Beth's Journey, and it is a historical
fiction novel based on the time when our country was expanding from
coast to coast and a transitional time for Americans especially
Native Americans. General knowledge about this period of time was
acquired through extensive research. Although the book is strictly
fictional the author attempts to accurately depict the time, and
what it might have been like as the readers follow Beth along an
ominous trail back to the east.
Beth's Journey is a tale of courage and strength of the human
spirit. In a writing style that is clean, simple, and beautifully
authentic, author Peggy Williamson's narrator is Beth herself. Beth
is a teen age girl who lives on the family homestead in the Blue
Ridge Mountains of Virginia. She and her brother were orphaned when
she was sixteen, and they join a wagon train headed to Oregon. Beth
and Newitt were taught well by their parents, and are up to the
challenges of the rugged trail westward. Williamson provides the
readers with vividly depicted details of the rigors and dangers
faced by pioneers who traversed the Oregon Trail. Heat, storms,
mountains, rivers, exhaustion, and illness plague them, but it is
the brutal Indian attack that ultimately tests Beth to the limits
of her endurance. Beth's Journey is a tribute to our heritage, and
a researched, but fictional view of our American experience during
the period of time.
