- Synopsis
- THIRD IN THE MAKING OF AMERICA SERIES: THE CONESTOGA PEOPLE. Filled with hope, they headed westward into unknown danger with Barry Fitzpatrick at the fore. It was the largest wagon train ever to leave Independence, and it was in trouble before it had traveled ten miles westward. Among the diverse people aboard the Conestoga wagons were: a cold-blooded murderer, a 14-year-old wanton, an aristocratic lady with a stolen treasure, a mulatto with a secret white lover--and one wily and powerful man who swore the wagons would never get through. In this novel, recreating the drama of the great Westward trek, we meet historic figures such as John C. Fremont, the famed explorer, his wise and beautiful wife Jessie Benton Fremont, and Jim Bridger, the legendary frontiersman. In vivid detail, we experience the saga of a turbulent journey toward a rendezvous with destiny. The Conestoga People continues the epic of the great westward thrust begun in The Wilderness Seekers and The Mountain Breed.
