Abstract
Both young adults and adults will find appeal in this Oregon Trail novel. Lovisa and the rest of the extended King family join a wagon train in 1845. There's plenty of hardship and even death, but the family still has time to wonder if outspoken Lovisa will ever find a husband. Based on a real family who populated Kings Valley, Oregon. Grade 6 and older readers. Winner of the Jasper G. and Minnie Stevens Literary Prize.
