PIONEER SPIRIT - Book One: Overland Trail (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781791812850)

Lost from your handcart train in the wilderness, shot by a Crow Indian, attacked by a black bear drawn to the smell of your blood - and all before your thirteenth birthday!

Life couldn't have been more difficult for Connal Lee back in 1857. His ma died giving him birth. His abusive hillbilly pa drank moonshine night and day. He had no school, church, or social life in the backwoods of the Ozarks. No friends.

Connal Lee had only an older brother and sister for family. Desperate, they ran away from home.

They heard of the California Gold Rush and decided to go west to make their fortune.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to be among the first pioneers crossing the Overland Trail and settling in Indian Territory, this story will draw you in. You will experience living off the land, Indian medicine, and the nomad way of life. You will be there when a young Shoshone family saved Connal Lee and befriended him, setting him on a long adventure of growth and fulfillment.

Coming of age and finding love can be daunting for anyone, but Connal Lee persevered. Read his story now to find out what happened.
