A Journey Along The Oregon Trail! © 2015 by Raymond Cook is a 302 page (FICTION) story about Frank and Lisa Mead, a young couple in their twenties who lived in Columbia, Missouri in 1898. Frank was only twenty three years old when his father was kicked in the head by a horse in the livery stable and died. Frank tried to make a go of running his father’s livery stable but saw family after family buying a covered wagon to go out west. 160 acres of good land was for the taking in California, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and even Oregon. But to get there meant leaving everything they owned behind as well as their friends and trek across the plains risking their very lives for the chance to carve themselves a new life out of the wilderness. Not only was a good quality covered wagon needed but also strong oxen or horses to pull a covered wagon weighing nearly 1,200 pounds plus 700 pounds of provisions. The following year, Frank sat down with his wife and talked about selling the livery stable and their farm and heading for Independence, Missouri. Once there they planned to join a wagon train headed for Colorado to start a new life. But the couple will risk death itself long before they reach Independence. The couple joins a wagon train of forty families destined for Denver, Colorado but less than half will arrive there safely. Along the way, the wagon train comes across five covered wagons that were attacked by Indians and only one survivor is found alive, a tiny baby girl hidden in a cedar hope chest by its mother. They will also face discouragement, wildfires, dangerous river crossings, rattlesnakes, lost children, drought, a tornado, dust storms and treacherous mountains to get over. This is a story about a journey along The Oregon Trail.

Intriguing Historical Fiction By Suzanne Gattis A Journey Along the Oregon Trail is a historically accurate western fiction about the toils and turmoil, wishes and dreams, love and lives of those who took the often dangerous but worthwhile trip along the Oregon Trail. It chronicles the journey of the young couple Frank and Lisa Mead, who are both nervous and excited about what the future might hold. This couple, dedicated to each other and the adventure, takes this extreme journey with a group of people that become friends and even family as life changing bonds are formed. Filled with dangers around every corner, the book journals the reality that early pioneers had to deal with.What struck me most about this book was that it was obviously very well researched. This made the story line more impactful because you felt like you yourself were experiencing the journey. I could feel their fears and desires as I read what traveling the Oregon Trail was composed of. It gave me immense admiration for the people that struck out on this journey. From rattlesnakes to wolves, floods to impassable mountain passes, this was a true struggle that took character and inner and out strength to accomplish. Even the seemingly simple fact of not being able to take a regular bath or have an outhouse is admirable to readers in today’s world and something that I never actually stopped to consider.While reading the book, you really feel like you begin to know the characters and understand that this just wasn’t just a journey across the United State but a journey in life. Leaving your home and all that you know definitely takes a leap of faith and courage. You see their joy and trials and want to see them succeed. I would have liked to have seen more about Frank and Lisa toward the later part of the book; I felt in some ways that they became less central figures as the story line went on.Cook took some interesting literary choices throughout the book. I enjoyed the inclusion of the recipes; the fact that they were cooking by campfire drives in again for the reader the difference between what they experiences and the convenience that we have today. The author uses the tactic of repeating information consistently to stress the dangers and feelings invoked on the trail. At times, however, I think different word choices and statements would have been helpful so that the information was stressed but did not feel like it was just being restated again. All in all I would recommend this book not only to historical fiction readers or to anyone who wants to learn more about our country’s past, but also to those who love stories of courage, adventure, and enduring love.

By Costa Rican Momma I don't think that I have ever given a book a one star review before and certainly don't like to, but this one was pitiful. It had the potential to be a good story but was very poorly written and was filled with unrealistic episodes. Like all the men and women calling each other darling, sweetheart in almost every sentence, and kissing each other every time they turned around. I don't think so! Then there were grammatical errors galore! How does this happen? Surely no author could write or spell this poorly. And does no one proofread these books anymore? Sorry for my rant but I am just getting really sick of trying to read this type of thing. And if children/young people read these books, how are they supposed to learn proper grammar, spelling and sentence structure? In my view, no excuse for this.

I love history from England, Scotland,Revolutionary war,Civil war,and all the brave souls that traveled the Oregon Trail. I love the way the author included a picture of the wagon along with the the weight and length of it giving the reader the knowledge of exactly how much space there was to bring what they would need for the 2000 miles and months they would be on the trail. This made it very easy as a reader to picture the space and wonder what would I have wanted to include. It's easy to look back and say what you might leave behind but these people do not have our knowledge. They had no idea of what they may face. Can not wait to finish this!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Raymond Cook!!
