This is the story of the emigrants following the Oregon Trail in the year of 1867. One of families is the Silas Martin family and daughter Mary who keeps a diary of events along the trail. Mary had two suitors during the trip-flamboyant John James Fairfield, 19-year-old son of Capt. Fairfield and James Monroe Cromwell, son of Rev. Cromwell. In the spring 1867, construction on the transcontinental railroad had reached Fort Kearney, Nebraska. Some emigrants were now using the railroad for their westward push. In early spring of 1867, Silas Martin joined 20 other emigrant wagons and 2 cargo wagons at Independence Missouri to begin their trek up the trail. Capt. Zeb Fairfield is the wagon master. Capt. Fairfield has a secret contract with the Army to bring 200 Spencer repeating rifles and $200,000 in gold to General Armstrong Custer bivouacked at Fort Hall by September. The first attack on the wagon train was by the Platte River by a remnant of the Quantrill Raiders and the Cole Younger gang. As the wagon train moved westward, it moved into an area known as the High Plains Indian Wars as designated by the Army. The Sioux and Arapahoe Indians joined forces to attack settlers and wagon trains. The first Indian attack was before Fort Laramie by a large number of Indians. Several emigrants were killed and several dozen Indians. A small Indian war party attacked emigrants in a broken down wagon with one emigrant killed and several Indians. At Fort Hall, four the wagons turn north to Fort Henry. The first days the wagons were accompanied by the Calvary due to an uprising by any Blackfoot Indians. On the third night, a Blackfoot Indian slipped into the camp and attempted to kill Mary.

Legendary nationally bestselling Western authors return with a brand-new West Texas–set series for their legions of loyal fans. WILL THIS BE . . . THE LAST WAGON TRAIN? A new railroad line is coming to Hansen’s Bend—and the Old West will never be the same. Especially for the Callahans. They’ve been running the local wagon train outfit for years. But now a pompous rail boss named Arbuckle wants to put them out of business. This big-city weasel mocks the Callahans’ “slow-poke” wagons—and bets he can finish laying track all the way to the end of the line before Callahan’s wagon train even makes it over the mountains. Callahan accepts the challenge—and gets gunned down before it even starts . . . But the contest isn’t over. The wagoner’s son, Luke “Tomahawk” Callahan, has returned to Hansen’s Bend after five years as an army scout. He knows nothing about the rail boss’s challenge or his father’s murder—until he sees the newspaper headline: “The Last Wagon Train?” The pretty lady journalist who wrote it wants to ride along and follow this story to the end. And of course, Tomahawk wants to defend his father’s honor and avenge his death. But Arbuckle has sent his henchmen to sabotage the wagon train to make sure Tomahawk and his wagons are dead on arrival . . .

The story of the "Last Wagon Train" is taken from the journals of Walter Weaver. It describes an actual journey that took place in 1897, from The Indian Territory to Oregon, by way of the Oregon Trail. Walter was a member of a small group of people traveling west, in wagons, nearly thirty years after passenger rail service had been established to the west. Rail was by then the preferred, and most commonly used, means of long distance travel.Walter documented well, the joys, the excitement, and the great anticipation felt by all members of the small wagon train leading up to and beginning the journey. Emotions that once the trip began soon turned to frustration, anger, boredom, and fear. His writings revealed many personal trials, tests, and hardships endured along the way, some expected but some that were unforeseen and much more severe than any of them had ever expected.Walter's journals also chronicled the good times experienced along the way and revealed how that trip bonded this small group. Strong, lasting friendships and relationships developed during the journey, some that continued throughout their lifetimes, and some that still exist to this day.
