This is an exciting and interesting book about a wagon train that heads from Louisvile, Kentucky to Oregon. Two wagon train families decide to stay in Belleuve, Nebraska, due to a tragedy. The rest of the book chronicles their settling into the frontier town and developing their livlihoods. It tells of joys, fears, and triumphs. It also gives the reader a great deal of historical data regarding the wagon train route and the early settlement of Bellevue and the Nebraska Territory. Mr. McCoy will discuss his book and the process of writing it. The program will be held in the large meeting room of the Bellevue Public Library July 10, 2 p.m.
