Helpful Score: 5
As the descendant of a woman who crossed with the Martin Handcart company I found this book so factual it was if I was reading from my ancestor's journal. Although fiction this book tells of some of the same types of situations that my ancestor wrote about.
The author has done remarkable research in order to accurately detail the hardships these emigrants encountered and more importantly what kept them putting one foot in front of the other.
This is a book you will not want to put down. It held me spellbound as I read it. While not a rosy happy ever after story, you will need tissues, it is the story that tells a portion of our country's history.
