Cowboys and Indians, buffalo stampedes, eating well-roasted mouse as a cure for measles – what was it like to live in the Wild West of America – stretching from the Mississippi River all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Although we see no teepees or covered wagons these days, there are still cowboys and Indians.

And the West is still wild – especially when you consider what else lives there: bears, coyotes, and poisonous snakes! Besides amazing nature and incredible adventures, there are people of faith there too, who were inspired by Jesus to go. Pioneer this part of God’s world in this book!
