About This Book

In 1859 the only way to get out west to the Rocky Mountains is by oxcart—and that's a slow journey that takes several months. So when Sam Peppard builds his "wind wagon"—a narrow wooden cart with a large mast in the middle—and announces that he's going to sail across the prairie, everyone scoffs. But Sam sticks to his plan and dreams of mining silver in the Rocky Mountains while waiting for the right wind. And one day, when the wind is almost perfect, he "sets sail" for the West.

Based on a real-life event, this is an exciting and fast-paced story by the author of the award-winning Ticket to Curlew.
