Publisher's Synopsis
I remember Catherine telling me that she had repeatedly asked her dad, David Jesse Shumaker, to write for her an accounting of his trip from Indiana to Florida in a covered wagon. But I don't remember ever hearing the true story that he wrote, I TRAVELED FROM INDIANA FROM FLORIDA IN A COVERED WAGON.
This is an interesting historical perspective of travel in the years 1899-1900. His accounting of the adventure has been transcribed for this book, to make it easier for you to read.
For historical authenticity, at the end of the transcription are photocopies of David Jesse Shumaker's original typed account of traveling in a covered wagon.
