This full-length drama tells the story of a small Missouri town's struggle during the early days of the Oregon Trail. Will Becket has his heart set on Oregon Territory, but his sister, Jenny, is hesitant. When obstacles are finally overcome, it seems his dream has come true. But disaster strikes, decisions must be made, and trusting the Lord becomes essential. Interesting characters, including hard-of-hearing Pa Spencer, bitter Sarah Smith, and "Jumpin' Jiggers" Jeb, the wagon train master, keep the drama from becoming too heavy.
This script has now been rewritten to include more female roles. However, we feel the original script is still better, so unless you specifically request the rewritten script, we will send the original version.
