In the Early Days along the Overland Trail in Nebraska Territory, in 1852

"In the Early Days along the Overland Trail in Nebraska Territory, in 1852" by Gilbert L. Cole is a story about a journey in the 1850s. It tells the story of people moving west to find gold in California and one man's travels. Starting in Michigan, the book talks about a group of people crossing the country, describing the tough times they face, like bad roads, broken equipment, and losing people along the way. There are meetings with Native Americans, and while the trip is hard, Gilbert writes about how beautiful the Nebraska Territory is, showing both the good and bad of their adventure.
