Looking out over the sea of faces their expressions reflected hope along with anxiety. The challenges ahead were daunting and too many had little idea of what was in store for them, but Jonah felt he could read most of them pretty well. He'd seen them all many times. As a wagon-master he had to be able to evaluate the men and families that would be driving their teams across rugged and often hostile country in their quest to settle on the new frontier. He knew full well that their whole existence depended on an undying hope, often realized, but always achieved with much effort. Men, women and children would depend on him to guide them to their promised land, the Willamette Valley, over 2000 miles away. The journey ahead, like all the others, would be footnoted with uncountable hardships, heartbreaking losses, newfound loves, encounters with Native cultures and, thankfully, occasionally punctuated with reveries and moments of celebrations!

This story of the westward movement, as told from the wagon-master's view, is certainly a journey filled with Hope and Hardship!

Westward Ho!
