The determinations, courage and faith of those who ventured westward in a covered wagon not knowing if they would arrive at their destination or when family would be connected again.

Very cool to see, especially knowing some of my own ancestors traveled in covered wagons (though not on the SF trail). Vickie, your series sounds awesome! Will check it out! Hugs and blessings to each of you!!

I did a lot of research for that series. The Mahaffe Stage Stop in Oletha was what gave me the idea for my three books. :)Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-46373274299411710812018-02-07T10:32:40.343-05:002018-02-07T10:32:40.343-05:00I'd love to read that diary too.

I know we glamorize life in the early days of our country, but it must have been extremely difficult, especially for those who left home and family to venture out into the unknown in just a canvas-covered wagon. Brave souls those were!<br />Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-46897105465198966182018-02-07T07:55:35.353-05:002018-02-07T07:55:35.353-05:00Great article, Michelle. :)Great article, Michelle. :)Keely Brooke Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03723455370932045703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-64317856079552592492018-02-07T06:26:19.888-05:002018-02-07T06:26:19.888-05:00Wow!

Farmers are usually more practical than that, in my experience, and would try to smooth out the land. Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
