Vast Horizons

Autor Terry Collins
en Limba Engleză Paperback

In 1838, Lieutenant John Lowry Kline serves with a military escort leading deported Cherokees from Tennessee to northwestern Arkansas. Following which he starts a family and moves to southwestern Missouri. After the Mexican War and a few personal tragedies, he and his kin set out along the Oregon Trail to build a better life in the Pacific Northwest.

The wide open spaces of the West open up before them as they doggedly press on, constantly on the lookout for water, grass, or fuel. As the wagons roll over vast prairies, mountains, and deserts, death stocks among the roofs of canvas. But Kline's resourcefulness and the strength of his family carry them to the upper reaches of the Willamette River, in Oregon's Cascade Mountains.

Based on real people and real events, this inspiring family saga touches on the Trail of Tears, the Mexican War, and the Oregon Trail and is stitched together with romance, humor, and the seemingly limitless fortitude required to navigate such an arduous existence. Witness the trials and times of this era through the prism of one family, as they make their contribution to the Manifest Destiny of the United States.
