Description
The Way West by Alfred Bertram Guthrie (Jr.) In 1846, a group of settlers embark on a perilous journey from Missouri to Oregon, guided by Dick Summers as pilot of a wagon train. This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel brings to life the adventure of the western passage and the pioneer spirit, charting a frontiersman's return to the untamed West. With sensitive but unsentimental prose, Guthrie illuminates the harsh trials and resounding triumphs of pioneer life. The novel pays homage to the grandeur of the western wilderness, its stark and beautiful scenery, and its extraordinary people. A celebrated work of historical fiction, The Way West is a testament to the enduring spirit of the American West.
