Historical Stories
It has been a while since I read this book, California, by Dana Fuller Ross. This is of course part of a series of Wagons West Books. What is most interesting to me is that this book continues in speaking of the characters of the past books and continues to develop their character and events of their lives. Though it is fictional, it does cover the history of the development of the states of the United States of America. The character are examples of the ruggedness and perseverance of the early settlers of America. The book also tells of the greed and ruthlessness of many unsavrory people who were only out to satisfy their own lust for pleasure and power. The book includes the strength of character of the wives and sweethearts of the main characters. This book fits nicely in the series and I would highly recommend beginning with the first book "Independence," and continueing the series. Duve
