Later on, they’re one of the first to travel by wagon train to California. In California, they get involved in the War with Mexico and the Gold Rush. After the Gold Rush, they return to Kentucky when news of Ellie’s father’s death reaches them, where they have to decide what to do next in this first novel in the “An American Journey” series.
