Westward Bound on a River of Dreams
The Peabody siblings Louis and Ann, with seventeen year old artist-in-training Wayne, depart New York for a western journey mocking fear and longing. Louis fixes on wildlifes and sketches cattle towns while Ann bears care for his fragile health and clings to a journal left by their father guiding their Hesperian West voyage. They reach Valley Springs where cousin Barnett welcomes them as the West reveals its rugged promise.
