Description
The Lost Wagon is a western novel by Jim Kjelgaard. Dodd, Mead published it in New York in 1955. A jacket by Al Orbaan dresses the book. The contents promise a wagon journey in seventeen chapters. Their titles run from Pondering to Besieged.
The hero is Joe Tower, a farmer at his plough. A biting fly torments him as he works. He hates his two roan mules with a settled passion. The mules balk and tangle their harness. Tower knows their tricks too well to be hurt. The early chapters stage a family discussion. Destroyers and a mountain man follow. The party starts west and crosses a river. Winter, spring, and a farm fill the later chapters. A siege closes the tale.
