Dawn’s Early Light

By Johnny Sundstrom ’66. Xlibris Press, 2011. A novel based on six generations of Oregon Trail pioneer Martha Bradford’s family and the first ranch settled in southern Wyoming. Meet real cowboys and cowgirls, Native Americans of the past and present, a faith-challenged evangelist, a militant suffragette, newspaper owner and many others all linked together by their hard work, rowdy pleasures and  spiritual beliefs. This panoramic story-quilt represents the dream of the Morning Star and its hopeful annunciation of a new day rising in the Old West.
