The Far Journey
by Loula Grace ErdmanIt was a long hard trail from Southern Missouri to the Texas Panhandle in the 1880’s, and yet a gentle, inexperienced young woman traveled it to join her beloved. The author of such bestsellers as The Edge of Time, The Years of the Locust, and Lonely Passage has written this story of a daring adventure with great warmth and insight, so that it is as immediate, as true to life as it is dramatic. And its thrilling episodes are revealed as the milestones in a spiritual journey as well. Growing up in Reconstruction days on the remnants of a fine Missouri plantation, Catherine Montgomery had been reared in the aristocratic ante bellum traditions her mother resolutely maintained. Yet, when she was eighteen, she fell in love with a “Yankee upstart,” Edward Delaney, whose most cherished dream was to claim land of his own in the untamed West. Edward and Catherine could not set out for the West immediately after their marriage, however, for they had to have money for a stake. By the time their chance finally came, their son Ned was three--and Catherine was too happily settled, too fearful of the risk to her child, to share her husband’s enthusiasm. She let him leave for Texas without her.... For Catherine, the passing days were filled with fruitless repentance for failing her husband. And when circumstances prevented Edward from coming for them as he had promised, the rift in their marriage seemed to widen. Edward needed her, she knew. And she needed to prove herself in his eyes, to measure up to the demands of the life he wanted to make for her. So, with only her small son and her wise but dubiously reliable Uncle Willie as companions, she set out to go to him. At midpoint of the dangerous trip she was suddenly, tragically robbed of Uncle Willie’s guidance. But not even then would she turn back.... It would be unfair to deny the reader the suspense and satisfaction of making this “far journey” with Catherine herself, of sharing her adventures, which include a startling encounter with a mysterious Indian, a poignant trailside birthday party, and a terrifying pursuit by an evil stranger! Catherine’s journey is, in a sense, the journey every woman makes toward her love. And as she crossed the vast plains of a growing America, Catherine herself grew to a mature understanding of those simple, enduring values that still beckon each of us onward today. In The Far Journey, the reader will find them, as Catherine does, in the daily round as well as in the once-in-a-lifetime moment that reveals them in all their glory.
