Description
They were desperate dreamers - these men and women who journeyed with the wagon train, lured by the powerful promise of wealth and the need for adventure. It made no difference that the nation was being torn apart by war; these strong, brave pioneers were determined to forge their way west. As they traveled toward Montana, the brutal winter set in. Snowbound in the mountains, with drifts over twenty feet high, they were forced to endure hardships never before imagined. Unable to go back or move forward, supplies practically gone, tempers at trigger point - it was certain that they would not survive. But there were always those who refused to die, those with unmatched spirit and courage - the fighting breed who fought for freedom, dared to take risks, those who were called The Frontier Rakers.
