Bound For Oregan

Bound for Oregon by Jean van Leeuwen
genre: based on a true story
time: 1800's

based on a true story, the auther fills in with her imagination for some parts.
The Todd family in Arkansas heard about the land in Oregon and they jumped for it. they brought with them a teenage boy who wanted to go with them. they left their town as a one wagon and then joined other wagons. some families turned back on the trail. Some died on the trail and others fell with sickness. Indians, heat and hail and rain along the trail. it wasn't easy. and the food got boring after a while. Mary Ellen finds herself wanting to eat veggies, green leefy veggies.

my opionion: I liked the cover of the book. and the book it was a good read in first person from Mary Ellen Todd.
