Winds of the Frontier: The Diary of Elias Whitaker

By Miles Grayson

In 1843, seventeen-year-old Elias Whitaker leaves the only home he's ever known, armed with nothing but a diary gifted by his family and an unspoken longing for something more. As he journeys westward along the Santa Fe Trail, Elias chronicles the grueling days, quiet campfire nights, and the unpredictable souls he meets-scouts, settlers, and strangers with secrets of their own.

But the trail isn't just a path carved into the earth; it's a crucible that tests loyalty, courage, and the fragile boundaries of the heart. Amidst dust storms, fleeting friendships, and the shadow of an unnamed threat, Elias's words capture more than survival-they reveal the slow unraveling of a boy into a man, shaped as much by the land as by the people who walk beside him.

Winds of the Frontier: Diary of Elias Whitaker is a poignant tale of resilience, discovery, and the quiet courage it takes to find one's place in an unforgiving world.
