Two of the things in our westward movement history were mentioned in this book that is not mentioned in most history books. The first is obvious in the title, Mail Order Mayhem (Brides of Beckham) and the second was the mention of John and his brother being orphans that were sent west on 'orphan trains' to find homes as helpers on farms. Both are part of the history of how some people moved west in the 1800's. In both situations the young people were going into an unknown situation and finding a new future. The courage of these people is amazing to me and that many of them found happiness and a new life with strangers.In this story the characters were honest, hard working people and other than being on the short side it was a great story of courage and loved the happy ending.
