Purchase a wagon and three yoke of untrained oxen and embark on a perilous journey to California. Lavinia Honeyman Porter, the woman in this story, narrates her own incredible tale of their daring adventure across the plains. Their journey is fraught with challenges and danger, but also brims with hope and resilience. If youre a fan of true pioneering stories with a touch of triumph and happy endings, you wont want to miss this engrossing account.
