Leaving Independence

In "The Oregon Trail," acclaimed authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone tell the gripping story of seasoned wagon master Virgil Grissom as he leads a determined group of families, including the hard-working Moran family, westward through perilous terrain in 1865. Struggling farmer Matt Moran and his family face the challenges of the journey, while his brother Clay, a Civil War veteran, must navigate the wilderness alone after being separated from the wagon train. As he encounters danger and obstacles, Clay must rely on his skills and resilience to survive and reunite with his family.
