Three times blessed

Eehhh. Well, I made it through. I wish the whole book had been as interesting as the part about caring for the wagon train victims...that was when the characters got really interesting. And the ending was good.
I felt like most of the faith part did not fully gel with the story. And some of the speech or thoughts of the characters were really out of character for the time period. A few of the comments would have been modern in the 20s.
And, being a history buff, an imagined route from Texas to Colorado that would be used by so many dozens of wagons was too jarring. By that time, railroads were already taking the place of many of the travel routes, and wagon train sizes were shrinking, not growing. This one sounded like it was at least 30 or 40 wagons...very unusual in post Civil War days.
It bothered me that the book was not well researched. However, the plot itself and the relationship of the three friends was engaging enough to keep me going.
