Product Description Sweet Water Canyon is a fictional story about the trek of a group of pioneers crossing the country in 1859 from a Midwestern town and going west. They traveled together in a wagon train. Dozens of wagon trains had already made it across the country and had pretty well marked the way, if there is such a thing, for those that followed. They traveled by wagon train because the promised railroad going east to west was far behind schedule and seemed like a distant hope. This is the story of one part of one journey and the impact it had on the entire wagon train. It describes one type of hardship and danger the early pioneers had to endure. Readers of the Christian faith will find this story especially interesting.
