Take Part in This Unforgettable Adventure to the Promised Land in the Oregon
Territory -- New Book is An Adventure Story Laced With Historical Details

VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 2, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Discovering a promised land
often comes with sacrifices, risks and even danger. This is arguably the price
that migrating people pay in return for a promising and brighter future. This is
the theme that drives an unforgettable adventure weaved by author Charlotte
Lewis in Becky: Ohio to Oregon Territory, her new book released through Xlibris.

Set in the 1850s, Becky tells the story of several Ohio families as they
struggle traveling from Ohio all the way to Oregon Territory. Through the
viewpoint of twelve year-old Rebecca Harrigan, readers will learn how and why
they all decided to go west. Her parents received a letter from their former
neighbors telling of their trek to the Oregon Territory earlier that year. The
letter praised the new land and soon the promise of free land and good water
enticed the family to make the long and risky journey. Laced with historical
details, the story also covers the turmoil and anxiety of the immigrants from
the day they received the letter to the day they arrive in Oregon City in Oregon
Territory. What exactly will they find there and will they be welcomed? Read the
book to find out.
