Orphan Moon (The Orphan Moon Trilogy Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
The sun will rise at my back tomorrow as I head west into that gaping frontier which waits beyond the outer fringe of civilization. From studying the map Mr. Waddell gave us, we’ll follow the Oregon Trail most of the way until it leaves us in the vicinity of the Great Salt Lake where The Trail then climbs to its Pacific north-western destination. Stoney and I will press westward. Mr. Waddell says the Oregon Trail is well established by fur trappers, traders, and emigrants that have gone before in their oxcarts and wide-wheel wagons. Our swing stations and home stations are marked along the trail and will be easy to identify. Tonight, my restless thoughts feel as loosely bound as our fractious country. While the North and the South appear near to tearing apart, the Pony Express chomps at the bit, eager to stitch together the east to the west. Perhaps this swift mail delivery will hold open the lines of communication between America’s opposite shores and will serve as the instrument that holds our tenuous Union together.
