The Trail Does Not Care
Autor Herbert L Beckeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 feb 2027
The Oregon Trail: two thousand miles of rugged, unforgiving country, and the only road to a new life for a family willing to risk everything to reach it - if they can survive the journey.
John Bartleson's job is to get them there.
A man who reads the land the way others read a map, Bartleson leads wagon trains west toward the Oregon territory. Along the way come brutal storms, broken wagons, swollen rivers, and dangers that strike without warning. Success is measured one way alone: how many reach the end alive.
But the trail is an absolute. It cannot be bargained with, only navigated. The storms and the floods do not care who they sweep away.
The trail does not care - but so long as John Bartleson does, the people in his charge just might stand a chance.

Notă biografică
Herbert L. Becker has spent a lifetime entertaining audiences-first by making the impossible appear real, and later by putting extraordinary stories on the page.Becker first made his name in magic. Performing as The Great Kardeen, he became known as one of the fastest magicians and escape artists in the business and earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the World's Fastest Escape Artist, a distinction long associated with Harry Houdini. He made Las Vegas history as the first major magic act to headline the city, taking the stage at the legendary Hacienda Hotel and Casino, before reaching the pinnacle of live performance at Radio City Music Hall. He appeared weekly as the resident magician on ABC's Bozo the Clown and was a regular guest on talk shows around the world. Before stepping away from full-time performing, he had built a career spanning live theater, television, Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and international stages.His landmark book, All the Secrets of Magic Revealed: The Tricks and Illusions of the World's Greatest Magicians, published by Lifetime Books in 1994, ignited a firestorm within the profession, and triggered a highly public legal battle. The dispute became an unusual free speech and intellectual freedom issue, and the case was discussed in the American Library Association's Newsletter on Intellectual Freedom.But Becker's career has always been about more than magic. At its heart, it has been about understanding an audience-knowing what makes people curious, what makes them suspend disbelief, and, above all, what makes them want to know what happens next. Now Becker has turned that instinct toward fiction. After a lifetime of performing before live audiences, appearing on television, traveling the world, setting records, creating controversy, and writing about the mysteries behind the impossible, Becker has entered a new arena.Becker is a father of seven and a grandfather of eight children. He currently lives in Florida.
