Dreams of the West W L Phillips

Bryan McDaniel was young but experienced in the outdoors living. He hunted and trapped with the area with Mohegan Indians, learning their language. Riding point man for his wagon train, he learned to protect wagons from danger and guided them along the fastest and easiest route west. His first week out, he came upon another wagon train destroyed by Indians. Bryan saw death and destruction firsthand. He was a young boy when he started but became a young man after dealing with the aftermath. He was human. He made mistakes. He learned to correct his mistakes before harm came to anyone on his wagon train. Traveling west, Bryan married and made decisions that were a blessing to all their lives. Not many people have a chance to achieve their dreams during a lifetime, especially not on an untamed wilderness where death and danger stalk every mile of the trail west.
