Description
January, 1852. Dan Forbes leads a wagon train westward to San Francisco, California, from St. Louis, Missouri. Dan has successfully led previous mid-winter trips. Unbeknownst to Dan, this trip will be quite different. Dan leads the pioneers westward and provides protection from Indians and outlaws, but the elements present a factor that Dan can't control. A blizzard strikes, and the wagon train is caught. The ordeal that follows tests the courage of the human spirit when faced with adversity. Faith in God proves to be their lifeline during the mammoth snowstorm. Their delivery from the blizzard is nothing short of miraculous. The Cheyenne Indians become part of this miracle in a most amazing way. Dan's relationship with the remarkable widow, Sara Johnson, grows amidst these challenging circumstances. C. Gordon Wilson lives in the suburban Maryland area with his wife, Lisa. They have been married twenty-six years, and are long-time members of Fourth Presbyterian Church. Gordon has had a lifelong interest in reading and writing. He graduated from Duke University, with honors, garnering a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. He then embarked on a nine-year teaching career. Working with his students, he developed and refined his own writing abilities, helping to prepare him to write his first novel, Blizzard of the Millennium. Gordon has also been a high school varsity basketball referee for twenty-two years. He has worked in the printing business and as a research analyst for fifteen years. Gordon hopes his book will inspire his readers to walk by faith and to find encouragement and godly examples of perseverance in its pages.
