Angel Train

This book was pretty good. It wasn't my favorite but I thought it was worthwhile. I thought it was really interesting to see the path that the group took along the Oregon Trail. The maps in the book were nice because it helped me visualize where they were going. I would like to correct an error I found in the book though. Fort Kearny is spelled wrong. In the book its K-e-a-r-n-e-y and in real life its K-e-a-r-n-y. The fort is named after General Stephen Watts Kearny. The city of Kearney has the extra "E" in it because post masters kept making the mistake of adding it and it stuck. I just thought I would share that =)

This was the first book I read by Gilbert Morris. I enjoyed the story although it was somewhat predictable. I live in Oregon so am interested in any book that has to do with Oregon history. This book was an easy read but hard to put down. I am looking forward to reading other books by Gilbert Morris.

I especially like the westerns and this one was very good. I did feel like that it should have told what happened to all the characters in the book but maybe he will address them in up coming books. As always very well written as Gilbert Morris always does.
