My Thoughts...
Having just read two Agatha Christie mysteries, I needed something to read that wouldn't tax my brain to much. Therefore, I chose this short story about a Mail-Order Bride, Flossie.
Lately I've been enjoying some of these Historical Western Novel, some are about Mail-Order Brides. I just love going back in time and reading how things were in the Pioneer Days, when families were moving West to start a new life in the West.
It was a nice trip back in time hopping on the supply wagon with Nick and Flossie in 1888 as they headed up the mountain to deliver supplies to the men and women in the mining town of Silverman, Colorado. It helped us see the challenges the old pioneers had as they traveled west to start a new life in the mid-west. It was a harrowing little journey, up the mountain!
All-in-all it was an enjoyable little story, some sad times and some good times along the way. I enjoyed it enough to award it 3"Wagon Wheel" stars.
