This fascinating, first-person account of a man who risked everything in search of gold, adventure, freedom, and independence was discovered by his heirs more than a hundred years after his death.

Between 1841 and 1869 an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 people travelled into the American West in covered wagons. David J. Bailey was one of them. In lively and opinionated prose, Bailey portrays the characters of the people in his wagon train (including a touching romance), the hardships of travel and day-to-day life, the small improvised celebrations, the struggle for food, and the second guessing of decisions made by the leaders of the train.
