Women in the West!

This is one of the best Wm W. Johnston's books ever! The main character, of course, is Preacher, a mountain man. In this story he leads a wagon train of women over the trail. They all have husbands promised to them when they cross the mountains. The women learn how to survive, weather, Indian attaches, marauders and other trials. The women characters are strongly written and I was delighted to read the outcome of the story. Johnston writes descriptively on the environment and the rugged times of the day. I've read almost all of this series and it's an excellent way to spend some time.
