West Toward the Sunset

It's the year 1846, and Sally Kettering is just twelve years old. Her parents have decided to sell their farm in rural Ohio and go west . west to California. Sally and her six-year old brother Jon must leave everything they knew - friends, kinfolk and the little town where they had lived all their lives so far. Pa and Ma Kettering packed what they could take into a single covered wagon, and they set out to follow a trail through the wilderness west, along with a party of other families and adventurers.
Unknown dangers lay around every bend of the trail . wild animals, wilder Indians . Indians who might be hostile or friendly, and no way to know for certain . treacherous river crossings, trackless deserts, and jagged, dangerous mountain passes. And still, the Kettering family and their friends boldly set out . following the trail that led west toward the sunset!
