Ever wondered what it would have been like to pack the family up lock, stock and barrel and head west in a covered wagon? With all the family possessions loaded into their prairie schooner, Pa, Ma, Lily, Baby,nad Bu Karl Isaac are looking for land, a home and some wild buffalo. They plod along passing graves, fording rivers (one man with a chicken on his head) and then suddenly, there is a dark cloud in the distance. Uh oh, buffalo. It's a stampede. This is closer than Karl Isaac ever dreamed. It's a wild country and the family's courage and determination ring through.
