The Voyage of the Rattletrap

"The Voyage of the Rattletrap" by Hayden Carruth takes place a few years before Dakota Territory was divided into two states. During this formative time, two young men living in Prairie Flower, a small town between Brookings and Watertown, decided to sell their businesses and drive a covered wagon to explore the land from Prairie Flower to Deadwood. Adventure and treachery lurk around every corner to make the voyage one that won't be soon forgotten.
