1837 - A dauntless band of pioneering men and women set out from Long Island and headed west to Independence, Missouri. Their mission-to win the rich Oregon territory for America. This is their story, a stirring saga of triumph and tragedy, of love and loss, of adventure and romance, of a future glittering with the brave hope of a new land.

First in a major series. From Library Journal
The road west in 1837 is a long and arduous one, but under the bold and skillfull leadership of wagonmaster Sam Brentwood, it becomes an exciting and rewarding adventure. Independence! is the first of 13 titles in Ross's "Wagons West" series. It tells the story of courageous men and women who leave their Long Island homes and head west to Missouri. Upon arrival, some of the pioneers, led by Brentwood and a refined New Haven widow named Claudia Humphries, decide to continue onward to unclaimed Oregon Territory. The wagon train, under secret orders from President Jackson to arrive before settlers from England and Russia, attempts to bring the Pacific Northwest under the American flag.
