Dustland Timothy H. Scott

Judy and Samantha Stanton, sisters growing up on their father's tobacco plantation in Georgia, embark on a perilous transcontinental quest to exact revenge on his murderer, the villainous William Christenson.  Their impetuous decision to head west at the height of the California gold rush sets the sister's against the vast American west which takes them through the grueling trails, mountains, and outlaws that threaten their every move.

Every decision made could be their last as they face thieves, murderers, and the unforgiving Sierra Nevada Mountains.  They can trust no one, yet are woefully unprepared for the challenges ahead of them. William Christenson always lies just out of reach, and when they finally reach California, Sam and Judy realize they may have entered hell itself.

Dustland is an epic historical journey from the plantations of Georgia to the pestilential gold mines of California during the largest mass migration in American history.  This scrupulous imagining of the Old West will keep you riveted until the final gunshot.
