Publisher's Synopsis
A young man and his two friends tire of working on their old farms along the East Coast and decide to head for the wild country that lies west. The dangers of traveling through untamed Indian country is an experience they have never had to face.
But they become quick learners on surviving the perils of the wild when one of them is captured by a tribe of Indians, and taken to their encampment to quench their lust for torture and scalping. They then meet up with a mountain man who becomes their traveling companion and mentor. They rescue two young children who were left orphaned out on the plains.
Their struggles not only involve protecting their own lives, but the children's as well. In their travels, they search for a family that will take the children in. The youngsters are hard workers, and quite skilled at riding horses and using firearms in defense.
In the end, they now live out West, snuggled in a valley between two mountain ranges and a beautiful river, finding their own peaceful place after surviving A Perilous Journey to Peace.
The author enjoys his time living in the Great Northwest near the foothills of the mountains he so enjoys and close to all of his family which he absolutely adores.
