The sequel to The Big Sky, The Way West is the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the American West by A. B.

Dick Summers, as pilot of a wagon train, guides a group of settlers on the difficult journey from Missouri to Oregon. In sensitive but unsentimental prose, Guthrie illuminates the harsh trials and resounding triumphs of pioneer life. A celebrated novel, The Way West pays homage to the grandeur of the western wilderness, its stark and beautiful scenery, and its extraordinary people."With A. B. Guthrie, the pioneer West has found its novelist at last."--Bernard DeVoto, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian
