Her entire family has been struck down with influenza, leaving her alone in the world--except for her cousin Philip. But Philip is bound for Oregon to meet up with Laurel, his fiancée, who's waiting for him. Though Mary begs him to take her with him on the Oregon Trail, he resists. What would people think? Mary's plan is simple. They already share a last name. They will pose as husband and wife. The wagonmaster is a firm man--and if he finds out the truth, he'll force them to marry, dashing Philip's dreams of a life with Laurel. But Mary promises it will be their secret, and Philip can't leave her behind after all she's lost. When Luke Sayer, their half-Indian trail scout, begins to spend evenings at their fireside, other travelers notice the obvious mutual attraction between him and Mary. Though Mary denies it, she struggles to keep her promise without bringing harm to either her dear cousin, Philip, who has risked everything for her--or to Luke, the love of her life.

Book excerpt: It's summer 1849 and when thirty-year old widow Colette Weylyn decides to leave the heartbreak of her old life behind in Philadelphia and head west to Oregon as a mail order bride, she encourages her twenty-five year old sister-in-law Sera to join her as her companion. But that means these two women who have spent their whole lives in Philadelphia, one of the busiest cities on the east coast, must travel to Independence Missouri then overland by wagon train to Astoria Oregon. This book is a heartwarming story about two young women starting a whole new life far from home. Colette never expected to find love again, not after years of being happily married to Elliot, but Quentin has also known heartbreak and together they slowly rebuild their lives.

Individual destinies collide on this journey to Oregon, with unexpected events along the way changing lives forever. You get two wagon train stories in this book and two love stories. Meet Wyatt, Quentin and baby Charlie. Meet Buck, Ansel and Burley, all tough men used to a hard life on the frontier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and Danger Promo text "I pulled to free myself, and he slapped my face hard. "Damn you!" I yelled and punched him with a hard right in the nose."Bitch!" he screamed and grabbed his face as blood streamed between his fingers. He staggered and then came at me. His fist glanced off my head. I brought my knee up and hit him in the groin. He moaned and doubled over. I pushed him to the ground, somehow grabbing a pitchfork. I held it firmly against his chest, holding his eyes with a determined stare. "I told you to stay away from me."" I won't tell the blue bellies ʼbout those horses you keep hidden." "You won't tell anyone anything," I said, pressing harder on the pitchfork." He laughed loudly, slapping me hard. I fell to the side.My hands tightened on the pitchfork. "You bastard! You don't touch me!" Overcome with rage, resentment, hurt, despair, and hate, I plunged the pitchfork at him again, going deep in his chest. His eyes widened in surprise, and his mouth dropped open. His body twitched, and the front of his shirt turned red.""Oh my God, what have I done?" The air was hot and heavy, and the sweet aroma of frying ham mingled with the fragrance of the nearby azaleas. The morning was alive with the familiar sounds of chickens and horses. Pa and me had been up since midnight helping a mare who was having trouble birthing her foal. Now we admired her new gray foal, and were thrilled-it was a stallion. We finished the morning chores, and I led the mares with their foals to the front pasture. A western love story begins with a young girl and her grandfather running a farm where horses that are ready to foal or that have recently foaled are cared for. The initial setting of this high drama is a horse ranch.

Just over the hill a civil war battle is raging, and cannon fire can be heard. From the direction of the battle - a confederate major and a troop of 12 soldiers thunder into the farmyard and they look dusty and battle weary. The father of the young girl rushes out of the house and confronts a Confederate major. The soldiers need fresh horses to replace the ones killed in battle. They have a letter from Jefferson Davis stating that they can commandeer anything, and everything needed in order win the war with the North. Their horses have been killed in the fight that is underway, and they need replacements, or they might lose the battle. This adventure is about six previously abused women who join a wagon train after escaping dangerous situations. On the Oregon bound wagon train, they discover unfound courage while finding themselves. They each find love that unfolds in ways that will make this romantic novel become a classic. The main characters are these six women who set out to find out who they really are, women who find their individual voices, and who eventually find out how strong and courageous they really are. As the wagon train comes under attack by extremely hostile Indians, they must find the courage and will to fight back - and kill for the very first time. As the story progresses and the wagon train moves westward, many exciting adventures unfold, and six amazing love stories emerge. This has become a classic love story and a movie based on this story is underway.

Download or read book So Rugged and Mountainous written by Will Bagley and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of America’s westward migration is a powerful blend of fact and fable. Over the course of three decades, almost a million eager fortune-hunters, pioneers, and visionaries transformed the face of a continent—and displaced its previous inhabitants. The people who made the long and perilous journey over the Oregon and California trails drove this swift and astonishing change. In this magisterial volume, Will Bagley tells why and how this massive emigration began. While many previous authors have told parts of this story, Bagley has recast it in its entirety for modern readers. Drawing on research he conducted for the National Park Service’s Long Distance Trails Office, he has woven a wealth of primary sources—personal letters and journals, government documents, newspaper reports, and folk accounts—into a compelling narrative that reinterprets the first years of overland migration. Illustrated with photographs and historical maps, So Rugged and Mountainous is the first of a projected four-volume history, Overland West: The Story of the Oregon and California Trails. This sweeping series describes how the “Road across the Plains” transformed the American West and became an enduring part of its legacy. And by showing that overland emigration would not have been possible without the cooperation of Native peoples and tribes, it places American Indians at the center of trail history, not on its margins.
