Survival on the Oregon Trail — Doreen Milstead

Survival On The Oregon Trail, is a wonderful, emotional, Christian romance novel set in the 1850s along the trail through the prairies and on a ranch at the end of the journey. A woman and her husband escape from Cholera-ridden New York City, after selling all that they own and buying two horses and a covered wagon. They start out for the Midwest--somewhere--having no idea where they will eventually end up. Something happens along the way and one of them struggles to survive, with only their diminishing faith in God to sustain them. This is a book to cry and laugh with, and enjoy the triumph of the human spirit over adversity but also, to relish the love of God and family and children.
