Westward Ho!golden West Book 1

Abigail's life is disrupted when her father announces they'll be moving across the country from New York to California. His new job requires them to move their lives across 1885 America where the transcontinental railroad has yet to be completed. Instead of building locomotives, he'll be building a new machine to mine for gold. On the way, their path is disrupted several times. A ghost of a man that worked with her father keeps appearing and disappearing, telling her that she must stop her father from going to California. It's not gold they're looking for, but he can tell her no more. Abigail is convinced this person is responsible for all their troubles. After purchasing a vehicle for their travel and befriending a giant in the mid-west, the trip becomes far more difficult. Now they must fend for themselves in the wild American West to complete their trip to. It's California or bust.
