A Small Part of History
A Small Part of History
Author: Peggy Elliott
Desc: Remarkable. Inspiring. Heartbreaking. In the summer of 1845 Rebecca Springer and her family join the Oregon wagon train in search of land thousands of miles away. It's a hard and dangerous journey through blizzards and searing heat over prairies desert plains and mountains and at times it seems as if it will never end. But an unbreakable bond develops amongst the travelling women as they are tested physically and emotionally and their shared experiences of new life and tragic death will bring them closer than blood ever could. How the west was won and the terrible price that was paid. A Small Part of History is an epic heartfelt story of courage in the face of appalling adversity and a haunting portrayal of how America was forged. Above all it is a story of people and how the ties that bind us most strongly are those of friendship of family and of love.
