Tina Susedik with details about the Oregon Trail

064_64-2-300x213 Author's Blog The Trail to Love is my first historical romance and part of The Soul Mate Tree Collective. The story is set on the Oregon Trail. As I wrote the book, I research many words to find out if they were used in 1854 and was surprised at how old some of the phrases and words are that we still use today. I was amazed at what women had to pack for the long journey. I always knew the trek was rough and dangerous, but during my research I marveled at the strength and tenacity of these pioneers.
