It was a wondrous, perilous, oftentimes fatal journey without assurance of a successful life at the other end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet tens of thousands made the journey and lucky for us, many set aside modesty, often at the request of children or grandchildren, to put the account of their travels into words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSarah Raymond Herndon was one of these pioneer women. Though today we can little sympathize with her views of Native Americans, her story of her days on the road are part of American history. She describes the beauty of the country and the wrenching heartbreak of losing loved ones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the movement that changed the country forever. It's a classic American tale available for the first time as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.","brand":"Big Byte Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164902342896,"sku":"2940149190508","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149190508_p0.jpg?v=1764005539","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149190508","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
