Vera of the Prairie in Bloomington, MN

In 1849, a young and determined urban family departs Chicago to make an incredible seven- hundred-mile trek across the plains of Illinois and hills of Missouri to settle in Indian Territory called Kansas. Challenged by storms and thieves, the Walker family completes their months-long trek with five children, four horses, and much resolve. They settle into their new home to establish a homestead in the tallgrass of Kansas. Vera had a hard life with many trials and tribulations, but her faith and trust in God never wavered.
