Sarah lives in Indpendence, Missouri with her family. Her father, a freighter, is preparing for a trip to Santa Fe. Sarah is disappointed that she can't go with him on his western adventure, but her father has a solution. He tells Sarah to write letters to him addressed to the Army posts he'll be passing along the way. He writes back to Sarah describing each stop.
