Summary
From the wilds of western Oregon on the banks of the Snake River， young Jake Zane is offered a job he can’t refuse。
After locusts clean out his fields， Jake Zane must turn to hunting and trapping for survival。 He can earn a decent wage—and potentially earn a fat bonus—if he can live to collect it…
Zane is compelled to sign on as a wagon and mule train guard into unchartered territory， from Oregon to gold rush San Francisco。 All that’s between him and a bonus that will carry Jake and his family through another year are hundreds of savages， weather， a Sierra crossing， and wild animals on rugged trails。 It’s get there with the cargo， or all is lost。
The Two Thousand Grueling Miles series is a true family adventure tale full of can’t put it down action。

The second book in the series of 'Two Thousand Gruelling #2'。 Jake Zane was only 15 when his father died， when he became the head of the family。 After settled on his homestead he was offered a job he couldn't refuse。 Taking the job， he went from Oregon to San Francisco， California during the Gold Rush。 And the story continues with much more。I enjoyed reading this western story it was full of adventures of the Old West and many tales during the 1800 era。 This is a well written story， the characte The second book in the series of 'Two Thousand Gruelling #2'。 Jake Zane was only 15 when his father died， when he became the head of the family。 After settled on his homestead he was offered a job he couldn't refuse。 Taking the job， he went from Oregon to San Francisco， California during the Gold Rush。 And the story continues with much more。I enjoyed reading this western story it was full of adventures of the Old West and many tales during the 1800 era。 This is a well written story， the character came alive with their own personalitIes。 A good interesting plot as the author brought it all together。 The author is a great storyteller， it was easy to read and fast pace。 I recommend this book and other books written by this author。 。。。more

Great WesternFrom Oregon to San Francisco， this is a fast paced western。 This book continues the two thousand grueling miles series。 What started out as a group bringing goods， gold， to San Francisco， along the trail， ends up with only one of the original men surviving the trip。 This continues the coming of age story where book one leaves off。 A very fast placed western， with lots of gun， bow and arrow， battles to get to San Francisco。

Author's NotesThis novel was the second book I purchased by the author。 I enjoyed the first novel， but I was really impressed by the author's notes at the end of the book。 It is great to get the historical background of different things in the novel。 Author's NotesThis novel was the second book I purchased by the author。 I enjoyed the first novel， but I was really impressed by the author's notes at the end of the book。 It is great to get the historical background of different things in the novel。 。。。more
