Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Based on a true account, Bound for Oregon brings to life a spirited heroine who, within six months, had enough adventures to last a lifetime. Filled with drama, warmth, an authentic detail, the story shows both the hardships of the Oregon Trail and a family who braved them with faith and courage.

Synopsis:

Nine-year-old Mary Ellen Todd, filled with the pioneer spirit, treks cross country in 1852 with her family in search of a better life. The Todds survive Indians and swollen rivers, but what will happen when mother has a new baby and winter arrives?
