Gwyn Ramsey
Synopsis & Reviews
They left Virginia with dreams of getting rich quick. When
lured by his brother, John, to seek adventure in the California
gold fields, Alexander Anderson sells his farm, packs up his
family, and heads west cross-country in a covered wagon along
the unmarked trails.
Heavy hearted and compelled to make the perilous journey
West, Caroline Anderson does not want to leave her
comfortable home in Virginia and dreads the possibility of
unknown hazards facing her and her family on such a long,
dangerous trip.
When Caroline is abandoned, afraid of what lies ahead, she is
forced to make a life-threatening decision. Determined to
survive she trudges forward through uncharted land to conquer
rugged mountain terrain, treks through treacherous Indian lands
and crosses a searing desert. Her dim but only hope now is to
find her brother-in-law and try to obtain her husband’s share of
the gold claim.

REVIEWS
“JOURNEY TO TRACER’S POINT, a debut novel by Gwyn
Ramsey has it all . . . romance, adventure, mystery, great
characters and more, including a covered wagon trip west,
as the characters leave everything behind, hoping to “strike it
rich” in California’s gold fields. Carefully researched, so that
the reader doesn’t even realize he or she is learning history,
the book is a page-turner from the beginning sentence.”

JOURNEY TO TRACER¹S POINT, by Gwyn Ramsey, takes the reader on one long adventure, from the hills of Virginia to the gold fields of California. For anyone who enjoys American history, Ms. Ramsey has done considerable research. A good read!
—Gail L. Jenner, ACROSS THE SWEET GRASS HILLS, Winner of the 2002 WILLA Literary Award for Best Softcover Fiction, from Women Writing the West
Gwyn Ramsey’s debut novel is a bittersweet journey of the heart, an authentic depiction of the tribulations of a family as they traverse to California during the gold rush.”
—Cynthia Leal Massey, award-winning
author of The Caballeros of Ruby, Texas
I don't know which I liked best--the engaging cast of characters that Gwyn Ramsey has created or the exciting adventures she sends them on. Journey to Tracer's Point is filled with the kind of details that make the story of traveling across America in a covered wagon both real and exciting. I didn't want to see the story end and have to leave the characters behind.
--Margaret Coel, author of Blood Memory
