Walk in Their Dust Dr Barry L Lane

What was life really like for our pioneering ancestors as they trekked across our country in the mid-1800s? Two men can tell you. They followed those trails for over two thousand miles, walking the equivalent of a marathon nearly every day for three months! Walk in Their Dust is about the experiences Barry Lane and his colleague Niels Henriksen had in 1973 while hiking from Mexico to Minnesota along the routes used by America's early settlers. The two imitated the lifestyle of the pioneers as much as they could, and they experienced many of the same things that challenged the wagon trains including dust storms, intense thirst, blizzard conditions, flash floods, and risk from both predators and man. Sometimes feel overwhelmed by what you encounter on your life's journey? This inspiring story of adventure will bring a smile to your face, and will rekindle your courage and faith.
