"Pioneer Passage: The Journey of Cornelia Rose Book 3 is the third but hopefully not the last of author J.F. Collen’s epic story of a journey across America, taken by Cornelia Rose and her family in the mid-1800s. Cornelia Rose has left her beloved family and her lovely home in Sing Sing, New York to dutifully follow her husband, Obadiah, who has recently been appointed a Federal Court Justice in the territory of Utah. To reach the great Salt Lake City required a dangerous and arduous wagon journey on the famous Oregon Trail where mountain crossings, deep river fords, restless Native Americans and dangerous animals await these intrepid emigrants. That is before we even consider the possible dangers awaiting the Wright family when they finally do reach Salt Lake City. Rumors abound that the Mormon Saints are determined to rule Utah as their very own Jerusalem and are prepared to do whatever it takes to keep the United States Federal authorities out of their promised land that they called the State of Deseret. The wagon train is comprised of simple emigrants from all walks of life, some headed for the promised free farmland of the Oregon territory, some Mormon “Saints” who like the Wrights are bound for Salt Lake City, and some who head all the way across the great plains of the Midwest, bound for California and gold. With just deep and abiding faith in their Lord, some rudimentary maps and guidebooks plus the indomitable pioneering spirit of independence, this eclectic collection of families and individuals must somehow work together and navigate the travails that lie ahead." Grant Leishman, for Reader's Favorite.
So curl up in your favorite easy chair, and after you have read some of the Enjella Adventures to your kids, take your own adventure in a trip across our country in 1857.
