A new generation. A dangerous town. Can an immigrant family make room for new traditions?
Portland, 1854. David Kaplan dreams of a fresh start. But when he and his family arrive in Oregon, he's surprised to find the rules of the past no longer apply. As David and Myra fight to claim what's rightfully theirs, the businessman wonders if the changing world has any place for him at all.
William Kaplan has seen his share of tragedy on the journey westward. As he matures in a world so different from the one his parents experienced, he endures love and loss and seeks to carve out his own path. But as the country around him turns cruel and cold, he hopes to leave a lasting impact to make life better for the ones he leaves behind.
Can multiple generations of Kaplans survive the spirit-crushing hazards of an ever-changing America, or will the evolving nation swallow them whole?
The Pioneer: A Journey to the Pacific is the second book in Richard's heart-wrenching historical fiction series. If you like multi-generational sagas, beautifully-wrought settings, and stories of the human experience, then you'll love Richard Alan Schwartz's rugged tale.
Note: Previously published under the titles American Journeys: From Ireland to the Pacific Northwest Book2, American Journeys: The Pacific Northwest and the Oregon Trail, and American Journeys: From Ireland to the Pacific Northwest (1847 - 1900). Content has not changed. Title change and Author name change (from pen name of Richard Alan to legal name of Richard Alan Schwartz) necessitated a new ISBN number.
