Book Review:

A wagon trip west. What could be more exciting! Its alot harder than Hollywood would have you believe. This story is about an actual trip made by a family of four that traveled over 1200 miles in a horsedrawn wagon. The year was 1983. Living like pioneers for the next 18 months, the family experienced what it may have been like for the pioneers of the old west. This was not a financed expedition. They left with $36 of borrowed money. Washing clothes on scrubboard, cooking on a coleman stove, no electricity or running water. True modern day pioneers.
