Faithful Heart (1995)
“Five days later, the train veered off the Oregon Trail onto the California Trail, and on September 25, the jagged, towering peaks of the Sierra Nevada Range came into view.
It was now September 27, and the Sierras still seemed as far away. Clayson told those who had never traveled in mountain country that it was merely an optical illusion. In a few more days, it would seem that God had suddenly pushed the mountains their direction, and they would be climbing into the foothills.
There had been n...o Indian trouble since leaving Fort Bridger, for which all were thankful. They were nearing Mohave Indian country, but the Mohaves were friendly toward whites. This was good news to the weary travelers.
Night after night, John Stranger and Breanna Baylor had taken walks together, and on this night, the moon was full and countless stars twinkled in the vast heavens above.
About a half-mile from the camp, the pair found a large round rock at the edge of a bubbling stream. Breanna sat down and John stood over her, looking down into her moon-struck face.MoreLess
