To Truckee's Trail

The greatest adventure never told ... until now!In the year of 1844 a party of fifty men women and children set out for California. They walked two thousand miles across trackless plain and desert fording rivers and climbing mountains. They found a new trail through the wilderness hoisted their wagons up a sheer cliff were caught by the winter snows and faced starvation with nothing to rely on but their own courage and trust in each other. These are their stories; the doctor-diarist and party co-leader the old mountain-man who guided them the feisty woman with her brood of children who means to rejoin her husband in California the taciturn wagon master... all inexorably drawn to Truckee's Trail!
