Overland is a novel written by J.W. De Forest, published in 1871. The story takes place during the mid-19th century and follows the journey of a diverse group of travelers as they make their way across the American West on a stagecoach. The group includes a young couple on their honeymoon, a Frenchman with a dark past, a Mexican woman seeking revenge, a Confederate soldier, and a Union veteran. As they travel through the rugged terrain, they face numerous challenges, including hostile Native American tribes, harsh weather conditions, and the constant threat of bandits. The novel explores themes of racial and cultural differences, the impact of the Civil War on the country, and the struggles of the pioneers who settled the West. De Forest's vivid descriptions of the landscape and the characters' experiences provide a realistic portrayal of life on the frontier during this time period. The novel is considered a classic of American literature and has been praised for its insight into the human condition and its historical accuracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
