In 1840; prosperous farming families left North and South Carolina to trek in covered wagons to the unsettled Arkansas River Valley. Absorbing to read and rich with colorful detail; this is a story of the peopling of the western frontier and the ways in which hardship; religion; and a shared past bound settlers together into a lasting community.

I thought I had ordered the papers of Thaddeus Stevens and consider this accidental purchase a divine guidance. As a historian; and fan of 19th century American history; this book will be an essential companion to my growing library. I bought it used and the two volume set was in MINT condition. I was able to use this book as background on my research for the abolition movement and the 13th amendment. I realized as I read the section on the caning of Charles Sumner and found myself rivited and horrified by the account that I had a genuine gem.
