In the early 1800s, the Ohio River was a major route of travel for pioneers heading west. In Passage West, Dallas Miller tells the story of two families who make the arduous crossing on a makeshift raft. The families are the Osborns and the Hamiltons, and their journey is fraught with danger and heartache. The Osborns are a religious family, and their faith helps them through some of the toughest times. The Hamiltons are a rowdy bunch, and their crude humor and boisterous behavior test the Osborns' patience. But in the end, all the families come together and make the journey to a new life. Passage West is a compelling story of courage, sacrifice, and hope.; 8vo; 386 pages.
