Hello all! The book that was the inspiration for this trip out west was written by my Great-Grand Uncle, Joel Barnett. My Aunt Jane Jackson Drury reminded me recently that there is an online digital version of “A Long Trip in a Prairie Schooner”. Joel Barnett is Aunt Jane’s Great Uncle, an older brother to her Grandma Laura Barnett Jackson. In case you are interested in reading the book, you can find it here:
