Review: Life Beyond the Oregon Trail
Rating: 4 out of 5

Angels, Eagles and Fire is a story about family and perseverance. Kohn writes about several families that have made their way out west during the mid 1850s. As friend, family and foe, they followed the Oregon trail and now live in the wide open country. Their closeness and belief in God has seen them through.There are many characters in this story and it quite difficult to keep up with who is who, and who is related to whom. None of the ages of the children are given but references made to them seem to suggest an age different than the way they talk. There is some depth to the characters and interesting dialogue. There are many exciting scenes in the book, bears attacking, giving birth to on the trail in wagon trains, and people seemingly being struck with insanity by God's hands in the midst of murderous events.This would be a more enjoyable story if it had better editing. There are many grammatical errors, mostly with capitalization and some skipping around without transition sentences. But it is filled with the Word of God and I found that very well done and is what pulled me through the story.
