Vast Horizons, an American Family Odyssey, 1838-1853 is my first novel, published in November, 2014, and revised in November, 2016. It is a short novel based on a true story of a family that was caught up in the westward expansion of America. Written as a family saga, it touches on the Trail of Tears, the Mexican War, and the Oregon Trail; including an obscure event known as "The Lost Wagon Train of 1853". The dates, places, and names of characters are historical, though the personalities and dialogue are my own creation. My personal interest in this story stems from the fact that the lead character, John Lowry Kline, was my great great grandfather. As I uncovered this interesting story, it seemed like it would make a good historical novel about an interesting time in our nation's history.
