An attention grabbing journey as well as courageous

This author has done an excellent job of capturing both your imagination and sense of adventure in this story of 2 young adults growing into adulthood as they cross half the United States to rejoin their father in Texas. The detail and accuracy used in describing surroundings and events make you feel as if you are right there with these two as they make their journey. Young Will surprises you in how well he masters the use of his sling. You'll understand if you read the book. A few interesting historical lessons and basic life observations have you feeling you are setting on the old front porch as uncle (pick your favorite uncles name) spins another story of life and adventure sprinkling in personal details to add to the story. I rate this book 5 stars for maintaining my interest throughout.
