Description: "Some called it madness, some a fantasy. Yet the promise of untold wealth drew people west like bees to honey. Determined to strike the mother lode, young Austin Garner and his family set out to cross the untamed American continent. The going was brutal- nearly three thousand miles of desert, disease, and death- and without extraordinary strength and courage, the pioneers would surely have perished."--back cover.
