About the Book
Pete Mack McAlester leaves his home in Virginia during the civil war and heads west to follow a childhood dream to travel the Oregon Trail where he encounters Indians, cutthroats, thieves, miscreants and renegades, and deals with everyday life and perils as he grows into a man. His desire to avenge his parent's death leads him on a path even he could not fathom as he travels through the Midwest. Along the way he meets the love of his life and together they survive overwhelming odds, betrayal, attacks not only from Indians but renegades as well. They would join a wagon train where they would build friendships with other travelers whom they would later partner with and build one of the largest ranches in all of Colorado Territory.
