Intro
This is the 44th story in the Smallville series and the 1st part of the Overland Trail mini series. This story tells the tale of the 16th expedition to leave Smallville. The group went south to the Outskirts of Smallville and became part of the 2nd wagon train. The 1st wagon train left in year 45 SVT as described in the Westward Ho series (stories 25 -31). Construction of more wagons began immediately after the first wagon train left. In year 48 SVT 2 men with 2 wagons escorted a group of settlers safely to their destination which became Cottage Grove of story 42. The 2 wagons returned to Outskirts and were then part of this 2nd wagon train to leave Outskirts. The wagons left in year 50 SVT, and traveled west and then south, going overland rather than following the main river south.

As you know, weary traveler, many others like yourself migrated to Smallville because of the floods and later the drought that occurred to the south and southwest some years ago. Like many of the others you left friends and family behind and now want to find them. Going overland, our wagon train will pass through those areas where you may make inquires. You purchased your wagon and team so you are free to leave at any time to continue your search. In its continued attempt to relieve overcrowding, Smallville has furnished the needed supplies for this expedition. The wagons are loaded and ready to roll.
